Genomic Epidemiology of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in a New England Hospital System, 2024.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the main seasonal respiratory pathogens in the United States. Although several RSV vaccines were recently approved, vaccination rates remain low. We analyzed RSV-positive nasopharyngeal swabs from Boston Medical Center in 2024 using amplicon-based whole genome sequencing. We found that >80% of the samples were RSV-B, representing a major switch from 2022, when Boston RSV samples were approximately 90% RSV-A. Forty-five of 48 RSV-B samples mapped into a single clade (B.D.E.1), though not a single source within it, suggesting that the predominance of RSV-B is multifactorial. We also found examples of highly related genomes, suggesting clustered transmission. Mutations associated with vaccine escape were not observed. Our work highlights the importance of genomic surveillance for respiratory pathogens to monitor transmission dynamics, such as the unexpected switch from RSV-A to RSV-B dominance, and to understand the epidemiological changes that may be associated with RSV interventions.
