Epidemiological Characteristics of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children with Acute Respiratory Infection - Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China, 2021-2023.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the predominant respiratory pathogen causing acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI). Globally, HRSV infection represents the leading cause of acute respiratory morbidity and hospitalization in children under 2 years of age. HRSV infection continues to pose a significant public health challenge worldwide. Through epidemiological surveillance of HRSV in children with ARTI, we can elucidate its incidence patterns and epidemic characteristics to inform evidence-based prevention and control strategies. Methods: We collected upper and lower respiratory tract specimens and clinical data from children under 14 years of age with ARTI. HRSV was detected using Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction to analyze its incidence and epidemic characteristics. Results: Among 1,440 specimens, the overall HRSV detection rate was 7.8% (HRSVA and HRSVB detection rates were 4.0% and 3.8%, respectively). Detection rates peaked in spring (12.2%), followed by winter (10.3%), with the lowest rates in autumn (2.8%) ( Conclusions: HRSV exhibited consistent circulation among children with ARTI in the Shijiazhuang area from 2021 to 2023, characterized by winter and spring outbreaks and alternating predominance of subtypes A and B. Infections predominantly affected children under 5 years of age.
