Association of symptomatic upper respiratory tract infections with the alteration of the oropharyngeal microbiome in a cohort of school children in Côte d'Ivoire.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: The oropharyngeal microbiome plays an important role in protection against infectious agents when in balance. Despite use of vaccines and antibiotic therapy to prevent respiratory tract infections, they remain one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in Low- and middle-income countries. Hence the need to explore other approaches to prevention by identifying microbial biomarkers that could be leveraged to modify the microbiota in order to enhance protection against pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to analyze the oropharyngeal microbiome (OPM) of schoolchildren in Côte d'Ivoire presenting symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) for better prevention strategy. Methods: Primary schools' children in Korhogo ( Results: The clinical examination of children's throat in Abidjan and Korhogo identified respectively 17 (43.59%) and 15 (40.54%) participants with visible symptoms of URTIs, with 26 episodes of infection in Abidjan and 24 in Korhogo. Carriage of Discussion: Nearly 40% of children showed clinical symptoms of infection not related to geographical location. The OPM showed an imbalance during
