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

objectivesFollowing the COVID-19 pandemic, global epidemiological trends demonstrate a return to pre-pandemic levels of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza (Flu) A/B viruses. For the appropriate clinical management of viral infections, reliable and timely diagnosis is crucial. The clinical presentation of these respiratory viral infections shows significant overlaps; thus, the syndromic diagnosis of these infections becomes challenging. The goal of this study was to compare the performance of three multiplex real-time PCR-based platforms for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective study was performed on 200 de-identified nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal specimens. All samples were tested simultaneously on three PCR-based platforms for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV: HealthTrackRx's real-time PCR Open Array

resultsAmong the 200 tested samples, the TrueMark™ and OpenArray

conclusionsRespiratory viral infections represent one of the major global healthcare burdens. Consequently, the accurate detection and surveillance of these viruses are critical, particularly when these viruses are known to co-circulate. The excellent performance and full concordance of the LDTs, with the BioFire
