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

Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) occur when there is a lower airway tract infection. They are well-known for increasing the susceptibility of patients to bacterial/fungal co-infections and super-infections. In this study, we present the results of our investigation, which involved 381 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital during the Influenza season from October 2022 to April 2023. Among the 381 specimens, 75 were bronchoalveolar (BAL), and 306 were nasopharyngeal swabs (NPSs). Notably, 34.4% of the examined samples tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Of these, we observed that 7.96% of NPSs showed positivity only for other respiratory viruses, while a substantial percentage (77%) of BAL specimens exhibited positive results only for bacterial co-infections. The results of our study not only confirm the importance of co-infections in COVID-19 but also emphasize the significance of utilizing rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for the timely diagnosis of LRTIs. In fact, RDTs allow for the identification of multiple pathogens, providing clinicians with useful and timely information to establish effective therapy.
