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

Recent reports have advocated the global resurgence of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infections in the post-COVID-19 era. Considering the absence of relevant data from Greece, the present study aimed to explore the molecular epidemiology and possible resurgence of significant genotypic variants. Whole genome and F gene-specific sequencing were implemented in order to obtain complete information on the genotype and lineage distribution of circulating hMPV strains in Greece. The results showed a statistically significant increase in monthly positivity rates in 2025, especially from February to April, compared to the respective period in 2024. Overall, 21 strains were classified as genotype A2.2.2 (42.9%) and 27 as genotype B2 (55.1%), whereas only one strain belonged to genotype B1. The
