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

Enteroviruses and rhinoviruses (EV-RV) are small RNA viruses that usually cause the common cold and asthma exacerbations. Although EV-RV-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is common in children, only scattered reports of ARDS in adults have been published. The diagnosis has been greatly facilitated by the advent of molecular techniques, namely, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). EV-RV can cause ARDS by stimulating a cytokine cascade. No antiviral therapy has yet been approved, and treatment is entirely supportive. Herein, we report a rare case of EV-RV infection in an afebrile adult with dyspnea that rapidly progressed to acute lung injury and ARDS. EV-RV was isolated with multiple real-time PCR in nasopharyngeal and bronchial specimens, while no other pathogen was detected. We also present an up-to-date review of relevant literature, in an attempt to stress the importance of the early identification of viral culprits, which can minimize the use of invasive diagnostic procedures and antibiotic agents.
