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
purposeAlthough respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in adults is considered as an important health issue, the characteristics and outcomes of hospitalized adults with RSV infection remains limited. We conducted a retrospective study on adult inpatients with RSV infection to explore the clinical characteristics and effects of RSV infection in different age groups, trying to find out the above characteristics of elderly patients, guide the early clinical diagnosis and treatment of RSV infection and improve the clinical outcomes in this population.
methodsBase on the retrospective enrollment of RSV infection patients hospitalized in Tianjin Chest Hospital, compare the clinical characteristics, treatments and outcomes of different groups according to age. Binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with the in-hospital mortality.
resultsCompared with the non-elderly group, the elderly group had a higher proportion of fungal infections, common symptoms of cough, higher rate of receiving steroids and invasive ventilation, higher hospitalization expenses and in-hospital mortality. Over 70 years old (OR 5.555 [95% CI, 1.311-23.542], P = 0.020) and bacterial co-infection (OR 3.789 [95% CI, 1.107-12.971], P = 0.034) were factors affecting the in-hospital mortality of patients with RSV infection.
conclusionThe morbidity and mortality of RSV infection in adults should not be ignored, especially in elderly patients with high in-hospital mortality. Management and preventive strategies of RSV infection in these vulnerable groups is necessary.
