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: The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the epidemiology of respiratory viruses and bacteria, including Methods: The study was conducted in the five hospitals of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in northeastern Italy from January 2021 to December 2024. A total of 11,208 respiratory samples from adult and pediatric patients displaying symptoms of ARIs, but negative for SARS-CoV-2, in accordance with our testing protocols, were tested for the following pathogens: influenza A and B (FLU A-B), adenovirus (ADV), coronaviruses (COV) 229E, NL63, OC43, bocavirus (BOV), enterovirus (EV), metapneumovirus (MPV), rhinovirus (RV), parainfluenza types 1-4 (PIV 1-4), respiratory syncytial virus A and B (RSV A/B), MP, CP, BP, and Results: The number of tests increased from 1,076 in 2021 to 4,377 in 2024. Overall positivity rates rose as follows: 27.4% (295/1,076) in 2021, 33.6% (714/2,125) in 2022, 41.3% (1,500/3,631) in 2023, and 47.2% (2,067/4,377) in 2024. RV, ADV, BOV, COV, PIV 1-4, MPV, and RSV A/B gradually returned to pre-pandemic circulation levels. FLU A-B, not detected in 2021, re-emerged in 2022. MP, BP, and CP, nearly absent in 2021 and 2022, reappeared in 2023. Conclusion: This retrospective study assessed the circulation of respiratory viruses, MP, CP and BP in our geographical area, observing their gradual and asynchronous re-emergence following the COVID-19 pandemic. Strengthening advanced molecular microbiological diagnostics within clinical and epidemiological settings is crucial for supporting new surveillance models and promoting the judicious use of antibiotics.
