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

Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) belongs to the human coronavirus family but is distinct from other common coronaviruses such as HCoV-043, HCoV-229E, and SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. It causes a mild upper respiratory tract infection, affecting children and adults. The usual symptoms associated with the HCoV-NL63 infection are vomiting, a runny nose, and a sore throat. In vivo, HCoV-NL63 showed neurotropism as it can be detected in the CSF, through which it disseminates into the brain and the spinal column. Herein, we describe the case of a 14-year-old female patient who initially presented with disorientation and a drop in consciousness level and was admitted as a case of encephalitis to the pediatric intensive care unit.
