Meta-analysis of the efficacy of palivizumab versus nirsevimab at preventing medically attended respiratory syncytial virus infections in non-hospitalized preterm infants.

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
Palivizumab has >27 y of proven effectiveness in the prevention of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in high-risk infants. However, there remains limited data on its efficacy at preventing medically attended, non-hospitalized RSV infections (MARI). A systematic literature review was undertaken to identify randomized, placebo-controlled studies of prophylactic interventions against MARI and RSV-related hospitalization in healthy infants born ≤35 weeks' gestational age (wGA). The findings informed a meta-analysis of three studies (N = 2,464) that found palivizumab significantly reduced MARI by 70.5% compared with placebo in 29-35 wGA infants, with broadly similar efficacy to nirsevimab.
