Trends of Human Metapneumovirus Outbreaks in Bangladesh: Probable Risks and Preventive Strategies.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is one of the major pathogens associated with respiratory tract infection and is a rising concern for people with compromised immunity worldwide. Amid the global concern about the increased incidence of hMPV, we found a significant lack of studies on the epidemiology of this virus in Bangladesh. Methods: In this study, we integrated the previous reports of hMPV in Bangladesh and characterized the cases. Results: We found that hMPV has been continuously circulating since 2000 among the residents of Bangladesh. The prevalence varied from 3.9% to 33% among children aged below 5 years. The cases were reported from Dhaka, Chittagong, Cumilla, Bogura, and Barishal. Among the symptoms, fever (80%-100%), cough (85%-100%), tachypnea (70%-100%), runny nose (80%-97%), and difficulty breathing (70%-85%) were the most common. Conclusion: This is the first integrated study of hMPV outbreak characterization in Bangladesh.
