Emergence and circulation of enterovirus B species in infants in southern China: A multicenter retrospective analysis.
Article in Virulence, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundEnteroviruses (EV) are common and can cause severe diseases, particularly in young children. However, the information of EV infection in infants in China is limited due to the vast population size and extensive geographical area of the country. Here, we conducted a retrospective multicenter analysis of available EV data to assess the current epidemiological situation in the infant population in southern China.
methodsThe study enrolled infants with suspected EV infection from 34 hospitals across 12 cities in southern China between 2019 to 2022, and the confirmation of EV was done using RT-PCR and VP1 gene sequencing.
resultsOut of 1221 infants enrolled, 330 (27.03%) were confirmed as EV-infected. Of these, 260 (78.79%) were newborns aged 0-28 days. The EV belonged to three species: EV-B (80.61%), EV-A (11.82%), and human rhinovirus (7.58%). Newborns were more susceptible to EV-B than older infants (
conclusionOur study is the first to demonstrate the emergence and widespread circulation of EV-B species, mainly CVB3, E11, and E18, in southern China, primarily affecting young infants. This research provides valuable insights for future epidemic assessment, prediction, as well as the elimination of mother-to-child transmission.
