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

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) significantly disrupted the epidemiology of pediatric respiratory viruses. This study compared infection patterns among 3658 hospitalized children in South Korea during the pandemic (2020-2022) and the post-emergency phase (2023-2024), following the relaxation of mandatory NPIs. Of 4419 eligible tests, the most frequently detected viruses overall were rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/HEV) (27.9%), influenza (14.5%), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, 11.9%). The post-emergency phase was marked by a dramatic surge in influenza virus (IFV), which surged dramatically (5.5% → 28.2%), and a more than two-fold increase in adenovirus (ADV) (5.7% → 12.5%) (
