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
Background and Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the transmission dynamics and epidemiology of respiratory pathogens, primarily due to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). This study aims to evaluate the effects of NPIs on the characteristics of winter respiratory pathogens. Methods: This study involved the collection of respiratory pathogen test results from all patients tested at our hospital during two distinct periods: September 2021 to May 2022 and September 2022 to May 2023. The comparison of positive rates was performed using the Results: The predominant pathogen during the 2021/2022 flu seasons was identified as Inf B (1095/9309, 11.76%). Conversely, during the 2022/2023 flu seasons, Inf A emerged as the most prevalent pathogen (4040/18,770, 21.52%). Notably, the positive rates of parainfluenza virus and Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that the relaxation of NPIs has a notable influence on the transmission of certain respiratory pathogens within the population. We propose the implementation of ongoing surveillance to monitor the epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics of various respiratory pathogens, particularly in situations where NPIs are no longer necessary.
