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

backgroundHuman adenoviruses (HAdVs) cause various diseases, and they frequently undergo recombination. As adenoviruses are susceptible to recombination, whole-genome sequencing and analysis are essential approaches to understanding viral properties. In the present study, we performed whole-genome sequencing to characterize adenoviruses and assess the local epidemic genotypes of adenovirus-related diseases in Kobe, Japan.

methodsEighty HAdV cell culture-positive strains isolated from clinical specimens in Kobe City, Japan, between 2018 and 2022 were used. Whole-genome sequencing, phylogenetic analysis, and recombination analysis were performed.

resultsDisease-specific HAdV species were detected, with species B and C being the primary species detected for pharyngoconjunctival fever and species F for infectious gastroenteritis. All species B strains belonged to the HAdV-3 genotype. Multiple genotypes were detected in species C, including five strains in which the new genotype, P85H5F5, was identified in pharyngoconjunctival fever specimens.

conclusionsWhole-genome analysis of HAdV is an important approach not only for understanding local epidemics, but also for monitoring the emergence of recombinant genotypes.
