1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, measures were taken to protect the population from infection. These were almost completely lifted in several countries in the spring of 2022. To obtain an overview of the spectrum of respiratory viruses encountered in autoptical routine case work, and their infectivity, all autopsy cases at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Frankfurt/M. with flu-like symptoms (among others) were examined for at least 16 different viruses via multiplex PCR and cell culture. Out of 24 cases, 10 were virus-positive in PCR: specifically, 8 cases with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), 1 with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and 1 with SARS-CoV-2 and the human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), as a double infection. The RSV infection and one of the SARS-CoV-2 infections were only detected due to the autopsy. Two SARS-CoV-2 cases (postmortem interval of 8 and 10 days, respectively) showed infectious virus in cell culture; the 6 other cases did not show infectious virus. In the RSV case, virus isolation by cell culture was unsuccessful (C
