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

After the transition of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from a pandemic to an endemic phase, data on respiratory viral infections remain limited. This study compared the clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus (INFV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections and investigated how underlying medical conditions influence disease severity. During Omicron subvariant dominant periods, we conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study including laboratory-confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2, INFV, and RSV infections in hospitalized patients aged ≥ 19 years. We compared demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes and analyzed the association between underlying comorbidities and severity of infection. A total of 1850 cases with SARS-CoV-2, 98 with INFV, and 63 with RSV infections were analyzed. Notable differences in the occurrence of fever, cough, sputum, and dyspnea were observed among patients with the three different viral infections. Pneumonia was diagnosed more frequently in patients with RSV infection (65.6%) compared to those with INFV infection (42.9%) and SARS-CoV-2 (34.4%) (
