Adult Influenza Patients Diagnosed by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Tests, but Not Rapid Antigen Tests, and Managed Successfully During the 2024 to 2025 Major Influenza-Endemic Season in a Tertiary Hospital in Japan.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present the two adult cases of influenza diagnosed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the 2024-2025 season, which was a major season of influenza in Japan. Although rapid antigen tests (RATs) were negative in these two cases, these patients were effectively treated by anti-influenza agents after influenza was definitively diagnosed by multiplex PCR. Relative low sensitivity and specificity might be shown in influenza diagnosis at bedside by RATs, therefore, these data suggest that multiplex PCR could be useful in influenza diagnosis and management during the influenza-endemic season.
