Virological and Clinical Outcomes of Influenza Outpatients Treated With Baloxavir, Oseltamivir, or Laninamivir in the 2023-2024 Season.
Observational study in Influenza and other respiratory viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundClinical data on patients infected with influenza B Victoria (BV) after the approval of baloxavir is lacking.
methodsThis observational study of the Japanese 2023-2024 influenza season analyzed data from 25 outpatients with A(H1N1)pdm09, 36 with A(H3N2), and 65 with BV. Viral samples were collected before and after administering an antiviral (70 patients received baloxavir and 56 received a neuraminidase inhibitor), on days 1, 5, and 10. Isolated viruses after culturing were amplified using RT-PCR and sequenced to detect mutations of concern, including acidic protein (PA)-amino acid (AA) E23X/I38X for influenza A and M34X/I38X for BV. Fever and symptoms were tracked via self-reporting diaries.
resultsNo PA-AA-substituted virus was detected from 126 pre-treatment samples. In the baloxavir cohort, one (7.1%, 1/14) PA I38F-substituted A(H1N1)pdm09 and two (11.1%, 2/18) PA I38T-substituted A(H3N2) viruses were isolated on day 5 but not on day 10. No (0%, 0/37) PA-AA-substituted BV was detected on day 5 or after. The virus isolation rate on day 5 was higher among patients with BV than with influenza A in both baloxavir (35.1% vs. 14.3% for A(H1N1)pdm09 and 16.7% for A(H3N2)) and oseltamivir-treated patients (44.4% vs. 0% for A(H1N1)pdm09 and 33.3% for A(H3N2)). Patients with PA-AA-substituted influenza A after baloxavir administration did not have longer fever duration than those without virus isolation or with wild-type virus on day 5, for both A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2).
conclusionsBaloxavir-resistant variants were not detected in influenza BV before treatment, as with A. The emergence of PA-AA-substituted influenza A after baloxavir administration was temporal and did not cause prolonged symptoms. No baloxavir-resistant BV variants were observed after baloxavir administration.
