Pathogen Profile of Pediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Wuhan, 2023: A BALF-Based Study.
Article in Canadian respiratory journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo analyze the distribution characteristics of pathogens in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of children with community-acquired pneumonia.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the etiological data of 1526 children diagnosed and treated at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.
resultsPathogens were detected in 1524 of the 1526 children (99.9%). The five most frequently identified pathogens were Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rhinovirus, Epstein‒Barr virus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and human bocavirus. The overall mixed infection rate was 62%. Epstein‒Barr virus, rhinovirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, human bocavirus, and Haemophilus influenzae were the most common co-infections of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Staphylococcus aureus and Pneumocystis jirovecii infections were more common in males than in females. Human bocavirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii, and WU polyomavirus were more prevalent in infants and young children, and Epstein‒Barr virus was more common in preschool-aged and school-aged children. More than half (51.6%) of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections occurred in autumn. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, human parainfluenza virus, and Cytomegalovirus were more common in spring and summer, and influenza B virus and adenovirus were more common in autumn and winter. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A virus, and Fusobacterium nucleatum were more common in winter and spring. Enteroviruses were more prevalent in summer and autumn.
conclusionThe positive rate of pathogen detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was extremely high. Most patients presented with mixed infections, and the distribution of some pathogens varied by sex, age, and season.
