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

Introduction: Pneumonia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Knowing the prevalence and role of pathogens in pneumonia cases requiring hospitalization is essential for informing diagnosis, treatment, and prevention approaches. This review aimed to establish the burden of Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across major databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from inception up to April 18, 2024. The studies were screened, and the inclusion criteria were applied to identify eligible studies. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, proportional meta-analysis, and subgroup analysis. Results: Out of 238 identified records, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 61,030 hospitalizations, with 2337 from Africa and 58,693 from Asia. Conclusion: This review highlights the notable occurrence of
