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

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting the duration of hospitalization and causing the initiation of antibiotics in children with acute bronchiolitis. Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in Konya Training and Research Hospital. Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory and radiological findings, treatment methods and duration of hospitalization of 102 patients followed up in the pediatric service between September 2017 and April 2019 (in autumn, winter and spring seasons) were recorded from patient files. Results: 67 (65.7%) of 102 patients were male, and 35 (34.3%) were female. Median age was 6.5 (11.0) months. According to Wang bronchiolitis clinical scoring, 36 (35.3%) of the patients were mild, 51 (50.0%) were moderate, 15 (14.7%) were severe bronchiolitis The most common agents in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were respiratory syncytial virus 60 (58.8%), influenza virus 20 (19.6%), rhinovirus 15 (14.7%), bocavirus 15 (14.7%) and parainfluenza virus 12 (11.7%). The median duration of hospitalization was 7.0 (4.0) days. Forty-two (41.2%) of the patients were hospitalized for ≤5 days, and 60 (58.8%) were hospitalized for >5 days. Duration of hospitalization was significantly and positively correlated with crepitant crackles, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and coinfection with influenza virus (p=0.036, p=0.034, p=0.028, p=0.036, respectively). Duration of hospitalization was significantly and negatively correlated with pH and increased aeration (p=0.002, p=0.003, respectively) Antibiotic initiation was significantly and positively correlated with wheezing, crepitant crackles, leukocytosis, and neutrophilia (p=0.033, p=0.013, p=0.028, p=0.002, respectively). Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between crepitant crackles in physical examination, respiratory acidosis in laboratory, co-infection with influenza virus detected by PCR and hospitalization for more than 5 days. A significant relationship was determined between wheezing or crepitant crackles in physical examination, leukocytosis or neutrophilia in laboratory and the initiation of antibiotic.
