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

Background and aims: To identify the practice variations in the management of acute viral bronchiolitis (AVB) in different healthcare settings across India. Methods: This online survey was conducted over 2½ months (May-July 2025) involving healthcare professionals (pediatricians, emergency physicians, and pediatric intensivists) working in different healthcare settings in India. Questions were related to demographic profile, caseload and seasonal variations, diagnosis, admission/discharge criteria, and treatment. Results: Among 100 respondents across 21 states/union territories, the majority were pediatric intensivists ( Conclusion: We noted wide variations in the diagnosis, severity assessment, investigations, treatment, and adherence to guidelines for AVB. However, the majority of respondents use antibiotics sometimes or rarely.
