Astrovirus and norovirus infections and their association with diarrheal symptoms in immunocompromised children.

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 astroviruses are a common cause of viral gastroenteritis and are often underdiagnosed. While infections are typically mild or asymptomatic in immunocompetent hosts, astrovirus can cause prolonged and severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. Here, we conducted a case-control study to evaluate the clinical presentation of astrovirus infections in paediatric oncology patients. Our findings were compared to two groups: (1) norovirus infections in the same immunocompromised cohort, and (2) a cohort of immunocompetent children with and without diarrheal symptoms. Astrovirus was detected in 9.8% of immunocompromised patients, with prolonged shedding seen in multiple cases. Astrovirus infection was associated with an increased odds of diarrhoea, although this association weakened when adjusting for co-infections. In contrast, norovirus was not significantly associated with diarrhoea in immunocompromised patients, despite prolonged shedding in 24% of the cohort. High rates of co-infection with adenovirus and
