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

Human bocavirus-1 (HBoV1) is an emerging viral pathogen associated with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in pediatric populations. This study aimed to evaluate the infection status and clinical characteristics of HBoV1 among hospitalized children suffering from ARTIs. A cohort of 5,021 pediatric patients with respiratory infections was analyzed using targeted next-generation sequencing to identify HBoV1 and other co-existing respiratory pathogens. Results indicated a detection rate of HBoV1 of 8.48%, predominantly among infants under 24 months, with a higher prevalence observed in males. Among the 426 children with HBoV1 detected, there were 17 cases (4%) of single HBoV1 infection, and 409 cases (96%) were co-infected with HBoV1 and other pathogens. The predominant infection pattern was HBoV1-bacteria-virus co-infection (155 cases). A total of 48 other pathogens were detected in children with HBoV1 co-infections, with rhinovirus and human herpesvirus being the most common. The median hospitalization duration for the children with HBoV1 was 8 days, and 16.26% required ICU admission for monitoring. The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of co-infecting pathogens, clinical features, and outcomes in hospitalized children with HBoV one infection. IMPORTANCE: There is currently a poor understanding of the characteristics and clinical manifestations of human bocavirus-1 (HBoV1) infection. In the past decade, few studies have thoroughly analyzed co-infecting pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi and their patterns in relation to HBoV1. This study utilizes targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) technology to identify HBoV1 and other common respiratory pathogens in 5,021 hospitalized children suffering from respiratory infections in the Guangxi region. It offers a detailed analysis of the distribution of co-infecting pathogens, infection patterns, laboratory findings, clinical manifestations, imaging features, complications, and prognoses related to HBoV1 infection in this population. The study highlights the high co-infection rates associated with HBoV1 and offers important insights for diagnosing, treating, and managing children with HBoV1 infection.
