Late diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus and influenza co-infection during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced disease is one of the important causes of flu-like illness in older adults and can cause serious disease in those who are at high-risk medical conditions. During coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, because of overlapping symptoms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) infection with other respiratory infections, diagnosing diseases based on clinical and radiological findings was challenging and could cause misdiagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: An 87-year-old Persian man was admitted to the hospital due to loss of consciousness, respiratory distress, tachypnea, and oliguria. He had previously hospitalized because of cough, fever, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was performed which was negative; however, based on ground glass opacity on his chest computed tomography (CT) scan and being on the outbreak of COVID-19, he fulfilled case definition of COVID-19; therefore, he received protocol's treatment (remdesivir) for COVID-19 and relatively recovered and discharged. In our center, we requested brain and chest CT scans, blood tests, and multiplex PCR. Multiplex PCR revealed co-infection of influenza virus and RSV. Although we had started pneumonia and sepsis treatment, old age, weak immune system and the delay in initiation of right antibiotic and antivirus therapy altogether led him to die.
conclusionAs a takeaway lesson of this case report, it is necessary to pay attention to viruses that show similar symptoms during future specific virus pandemics, especially in patients with old age and weak immune systems.
