Severity of Clinical Presentation and Outcomes in Hospitalized Adult People With Influenza by Type and Subtype, United States-2017-2020.
Article in Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundWhile influenza A(H3N2)-predominant seasons tend to have increased rates of influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths, little is known about differences in clinical presentation and hospitalization outcomes by influenza type and subtype.
methodsData from hospitalized adults aged ≥18 years in 4 US states from 2017 to 2020 were used to evaluate the association between influenza type/subtype and severe influenza presentation and outcomes. Log binomial regression and modified Poisson regression with robust error variance were used to estimate adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) for clinical indicators within 24 hours of hospital admission and severity outcomes. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios for length of hospital stay and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. All models were adjusted for underlying conditions, age group, influenza vaccination, and site.
resultsPeople with influenza A(H1N1) were more likely to be admitted to an ICU (aRR = 1.42) than people with A(H3N2). People with influenza A(H1N1) had higher risk of hypoxemia (SpO2 <90%) than people with A(H3N2) (aRR = 1.24) and B (aRR = 1.43). People with influenza A(H1N1) compared with A(H3N2) also had higher risk of hyponatremia (sodium < 135 mmol/L; aRR = 1.19) and compared with B had higher risk of fever (>38°C, aRR = 1.56).
conclusionsAdult people hospitalized with influenza A(H1N1) had a higher risk of multiple severity indicators. Better understanding of influenza severity related to both host and virus type is important for reducing the burden of severe influenza in adults.
