Resurgence of human metapneumovirus: an overview of past and current trends.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. 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
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major respiratory pathogen belonging to the Pneumoviridae family that primarily affects children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Since its discovery in 2001, HMPV has been recognized as a significant cause of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) worldwide, exhibiting seasonal peaks and recurring outbreaks. In recent years, the virus has shown an unusual resurgence, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era, emphasizing the need for renewed clinical and epidemiological attention. This review provides a comprehensive overview of HMPV, encompassing its epidemiology, virion structure, replication mechanisms, host-pathogen interaction, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, and current therapeutic approaches. Special attention is given to recent epidemiological trends, molecular insights derived from structural studies of viral proteins, and the challenges faced in developing vaccines and antiviral agents. Additionally, the review discusses the potential of plant-derived bioactive compounds as alternative or complementary therapeutic options. By consolidating the latest global data and highlighting existing knowledge gaps, the work aims to facilitate a better understanding of HMPV pathogenesis and guide future research directions for improved surveillance, diagnosis, and management of HMPV infections.
