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

Background: Human Adenovirus (HAdV) is a significant pathogen for acute respiratory infections(ARIs) in children. However, its epidemiological patterns, serotype distribution changes, and molecular mechanisms associated with severe pneumonia during and after the COVID-19 pandemic require further elucidation through large-scale and molecular typing studies. Methods: This study used a retrospective cohort design to analyze 28060 respiratory specimens from Tianjin Children's Hospital from March 2022 to March 2024. HAdV detection and typing were performed through targeted high-throughput sequencing and PCR-based amplification of Penton, Hexon, and Fiber genes for phylogenetic analysis. Additionally, clinical data were compared to assess differences in clinical presentations among pediatric patients infected with different HAdV types. Results: The overall HAdV detection rate was 8.9% (2,484/28,060), with significant male predominance (9.2% Conclusion: HAdV-3, HAdV-7, HAdV-2, and HAdV-1 were the predominant HAdV types in children hospitalized with ARIs in Tianjin. Moreover, not only the epidemiological characteristics of different HAdV types vary, but there are also certain differences in the clinical symptoms and outcomes of children infected with different types of HAdV. Therefore, it is essential to differentiate HAdV types for epidemiological surveillance and clinical management purposes.
