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

Enteroviruses (EVs) that infect humans cause a broad range of pathologies, notably neurological, respiratory, cutaneous and enteric diseases, leading to morbidity and mortality, especially in young children. These pathologies particularly affect countries in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. In the last decades, some EVs with a marked respiratory tropism have emerged as a source of acute respiratory illnesses: EV-D68 has been associated with outbreaks of severe respiratory distress and acute myelitis since 2014, while several respiratory genotypes belonging to the species
