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

Respiratory viruses may interfere with each other and affect the epidemic trend of the virus. However, the understanding of the interactions between respiratory viruses at the population level is still very limited. We here conducted a prospective laboratory-based etiological study by enrolling 14,426 patients suffered from acute respiratory infection (ARI) in Beijing, China during 2005 to 2015. All 18 respiratory viruses were simultaneously tested for each nasal and throat swabs collected from enrolled patients using molecular tests. The virus correlations were quantitatively evaluated, and the respiratory viruses could be divided into two panels according to the positive and negative correlations. One included influenza viruses (IFVs) A, B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), while the other included human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) 1/3, 2/4, adenovirus (Adv), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and enterovirus (including rhinovirus, named picoRNA), α and β human coronaviruses (HCoVs). The viruses were positive-correlated in each panel, while negative-correlated between panels. After adjusting the confounding factors by vector autoregressive model, positive interaction between IFV-A and RSV and negative interaction between IFV-A and picoRNA are still be observed. The asynchronous interference of IFV-A significantly delayed the peak of β human coronaviruses epidemic. The binary property of the respiratory virus interactions provides new insights into the viral epidemic dynamics in human population, facilitating the development of infectious disease control and prevention strategies.
