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 presence of other respiratory pathogens in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection has been described as a striking feature. However, data on adenovirus co-infection rates and clinical impacts in COVID-19 patients is limited. The purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of respiratory adenoviruses in children under 15 years of age in Positive and Negative SARS-CoV-2 patients. Methodology: From September 2020 to January 2021, nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from 280 patients below 15 years old with influenza-like infection symptoms suspected to be COVID-19 and referred to hospitals in Hamadan province. Nucleic acid was extracted using a High Pure Viral Nucleic acid extraction kit for both viral RNA and DNA. Reverse transcription real-time PCR for detecting SARS-CoV-2 and Real-time PCR for Human Adenoviruses were used. Results: Out of 280 examined samples, 11.7% tested positive for AdV, of which 18 samples originated from the SARS-CoV-2 positive group and 15 samples were from the SARS-CoV-2 negative group. Of 18 co-infected samples, which were categorized in three different ranges of age including, 0-5, 6-10, and 11-15 years old were 11, 4, and 3 patients respectively. Also, 14 patients were hospitalized. Compared with AdV-positive patients, children with Co-infection with SARS CoV-2 had lower levels of white blood cell (WBC) count while erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reaction protein (CRP) had increased levels. Conclusion: We report a substantial burden of AdV co-infection in pediatric COVID-19 patients. This study revealed most AdV infections lead to hospitalization and change in
