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

Influenza B virus (IBV) is known to cause mild to severe respiratory disease in all age groups, but children under five, especially the neonatal age group, are particularly susceptible. IBV is an entity less known to cause disease in neonates. We report a rare case of IBV pneumonia in a 10-day-old neonate who presented to our facility. Baby on arrival was tachypneic and in severe respiratory distress. His suck, grasp, and Moro reflexes were sluggish on initial assessment. He was mechanically ventilated, and supportive respiratory therapy was commenced alongside oseltamivir, to which he responded well. He was discharged successfully after 10 days of hospitalization. Neonatologists should have a high index of suspicion for influenza, especially A/H1N1 and IBV, in neonates reporting with respiratory symptoms in late fall and early spring seasons.
