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
Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). However, few comprehensive descriptions of the disease burden, medical resource utilization (MRU), and costs of RSV are available for China. This study aimed to provide the basis for the development of RSV prevention strategies by analyzing the burden of RSV among inpatients with lower respiratory tract infection under 5 years of age. Methods: We conducted a retrospective hospital-based study from June 2009 to May 2019 in Chongqing. Inpatients with LRTI were tested for eight viruses. We analyzed the RSV disease burden, MRU, and direct hospitalization costs by using non-parametric Mann‒Whitney Results: A total of 6991 children under 5 years of age with LRTI were included in this study. The overall RSV-positive rate was 34.5% (2410/6991). Prior to admission, 81.9% (1973/2410) of these RSV-positive cases were otherwise healthy. Compared with children aged 24-59 months, the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for RSV infection were 2.509 (2.139-2.945), 1.882 (1.549-2.222), and 1.479 (1.240-1.765) for those aged 1-5 months, 6-11 months, and 12-23 months, respectively. The proportions of patients treated with invasive ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were significantly higher among RSV-positive cases (1.1% [27/2410] and 3.9% [93/2410]) than RSV-negative cases (0.9% [43/4581] and 2.7% [124/4581]) ( Conclusions: Most RSV infections occurred during early childhood and among individuals in the otherwise healthy group. Younger age was associated with a higher RSV-positive rate. Effective prevention measures are needed in the earliest stages to reduce the RSV burden.
