Respiratory virome in hospitalized children and analysis of its correlation with disease severity.

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
purposeTo investigate the composition of respiratory viromes and their association with disease severity among hospitalized pediatric patients.
methodsClinical data and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) results were collected from pediatric patients hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2022 and September 2023. The analyzed specimens included sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
resultsThe study included 229 patients (65.07% male, median age 3 years) with 25 sputum and 204 BALF samples, of whom 40.17% met the WHO criteria for severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). Herpesviruses were detected in 166 cases (72.49%), including 85 cases of cytomegalovirus (CMV), 64 cases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), 34 cases of human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), 12 cases of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), and 6 cases of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Additionally, 53 cases of torque teno virus (TTV) and 7 cases of torque teno mini virus (TLMV) were detected. CMV prevalence was highest in neonates, while EBV peaked in the 3-6 year group (37.78%). HSV-1 and HHV-6 were predominantly identified in severe infections.
conclusionHerpesviruses, particularly CMV and EBV, were the most frequently detected viruses, followed by anelloviruses. The age-specific viral distribution patterns provide novel epidemiological perspectives for understanding pediatric respiratory pathogenesis, though their clinical significance requires validation through mechanistic studies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
