Coxsackievirus B4 (CV-B4) linked to four severe neonatal infections including one fatal, Northern Ireland, October 2024 to February 2025.

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
We report four cases of severe neonatal non-polio enterovirus infection, requiring hospital admission. Infants presented to different regional hospitals across Northern Ireland from late 2024 to early 2025. Three had neonatal meningitis and one showed rapid demise, leading to sepsis, multi-organ failure and death at day 6 of life. All infants were less than 18 days old at presentation, two were considered congenital infections, with one presenting symptoms at birth. All infants had detectable enterovirus RNA, typed as coxsackievirus B4.
