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

backgroundAcute respiratory tract infections are very common and can be caused by many pathogens. The aim of this study was to understand the characteristics of multi-pathogen infections of respiratory tract infections during the seasonal changes in winter and spring in Xinjiang.

methodsThroat swab samples were collected from 2791 patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) and hospitalized severe acute respiratory tract infection (SARI) in Xinjiang from January 2024 to May 2024 for multi-pathogen detection. Then, the infection frequency of pathogens and their distribution characteristics in different months, genders, regions and case classifications were analyzed.

resultsThe positive infection rate of pathogens in 2791 patients was 48.30% (1348/2791). The proportion of patients infected with respiratory pathogens in the 0-9 age group was the highest. Of all pathogens detected, MP was most common in positive patients (22.03%). The highest frequency of multiple infections was SPn. RSV, FluA and FluB were the main infectious pathogens in January and February. The number of RV, HPIV and MP infections showed an increasing trend from January to May. Compared to female patients, male patients are more likely to be infected with ADV and SPn. Compared with hospitalized SARI patients, outpatient and emergency ILI patients were more susceptible to infection with ADV and FluB. However, hospitalized SARI patients were more susceptible to infection with RSV and MP. The positive infected patients mainly came from northern Xinjiang (60.83%). Compared with other regions, the proportion of ADV positive patients in northern Xinjiang was higher.

conclusionThis study revealed the distribution characteristics of pathogen infection in patients with respiratory tract infections in different months, genders, regions and case classifications during the seasonal changes of winter and spring in Xinjiang for the first time, which is helpful to formulate more effective treatment strategies and preventive measures. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: not applicable.
