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

Objective: A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the spectrum and demographic distribution of respiratory pathogens and their association with clinical outcomes among patients in the Wardha district over a nine-month period. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of respiratory samples tested using a multiplex real-time RT-PCR panel at a tertiary care hospital in Wardha, Maharashtra, from July 2024 to March 2025. Samples were collected only from inpatient wards and intensive care units (ICUs). Pathogen detection rates were stratified by age group and analyzed for seasonal trends. Results: Of 476 samples tested, 286 (60%) were positive for at least one respiratory pathogen. The most frequently detected pathogens were bacterial species (211 cases) and viral pathogens, including influenza A and influenza B (79 cases), as well as rhinovirus and parainfluenza viruses. Other identified pathogens included Conclusion: Our multiplex RT-PCR surveillance revealed a significant burden of bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens, with notable seasonal and age-related variations. Routine syndromic testing can enhance pathogen detection and support public health strategies in resource-limited settings. Graphic Abstract: Graphic Abstract.
