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

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) with multiple types of viruses are common in infants and children. This study was conducted to assess the difference of oropharyngeal microbiome during acute respiratory viral infection using whole-genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The overall taxonomic alpha diversity did not differ by the types of infected virus. The beta diversity differed by disease severity, disease-related symptoms, and types of infected virus. Nine species had significantly higher abundance in outpatients than in inpatients, with five of them in the genus Achromobacter. Three microbial community types were identified. The prevalence of community type (CT) 1 was higher among patients with influenza virus, enterovirus, and human adenvirus; CT2 was higher among patients with human metapneumovirus; and CT3 was higher among patients with respiratory syncytial virus and human adenvirus infections. Our results suggest that the oropharyngeal microbiome is associated with ARI disease severity, disease-related symptoms, and the types of infected virus.
