High Prevalence of Respiratory Co-Infections and Risk Factors in COVID-19 Patients at Hospital Admission During an Epidemic Peak in China.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Recent research highlights the contribution of co-infections to elevated disease severity and mortality among COVID-19 patients. Given China's decision to ease epidemic prevention policies in December 2022, a comprehensive exploration of the risks and characteristics of co-infections with respiratory pathogens becomes imperative. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 716 COVID-19 patients admitted to a primary hospital in China. The detection of twelve respiratory pathogens was conducted using qPCR, and the potential risk factors were analyzed through Cox regression analysis. Results: Within this cohort, 76.82% of cases exhibited co-infection involving eleven distinct pathogens. Among these, bacterial co-infections were observed in 74% of cases, with Conclusion: Our findings underscore a significant occurrence of co-infections among COVID-19 patients during the epidemic, emphasizing the need for enhanced antibiotic stewardship. Effective management strategies should encompass respiratory status, nutritional aspects, and vigilance towards co-infections involving
