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

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Southeast Asia (SEA). While bacterial causes are well studied, viral etiologies are less characterized. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the significance of viral pneumonia, alongside ongoing concerns from zoonotic influenza, human metapneumovirus, and other outbreaks. This review identified 16 studies from SEA, encompassing 8421 CAP patients (2012-2023), describing the viral etiology of CAP. Influenza virus (IV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human rhinovirus/enterovirus (hRV/EV) were the most frequently tested viral pathogens in 16, 13, and 12 studies, respectively. The pooled positivity rates were 9.02% (hRV/EV), 7.28% (IV), and 5.17% (RSV). While viral etiologies of CAP in SEA align with global trends, data remain limited. Enhancing microbiology capacity in SEA is essential to strengthen CAP surveillance, optimize treatment strategies, inform vaccination policies, and improve pandemic preparedness.
