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

Introduction: Changes in the gut microbiome have been associated with the development of acute respiratory infection (ARI). However, due to methodological limitations, our knowledge of the gut virome in patients with ARIs remains limited. Methods: In this study, fecal samples from children with ARI were investigated using viral metagenomics. Results: The fecal virome was analyzed, and several suspected disease-causing viruses were identified. The five viral families with the highest abundance of sequence reads were Discussion: We characterized the composition of gut virome in children with acute respiratory infections. However, further research is required to elucidate the relationship between acute respiratory infection and gut viruses.
