ICU admission and mortality in adult patients with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09-related pneumonia in Vietnam since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic: A 10-year cohort study.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe A(H1N1)pdm09 virus remains an important cause of severe influenza worldwide. This study examined the burden of ICU admission, mortality, and associated predictors among adults with A(H1N1)pdm09-related pneumonia treated at a leading infectious diseases hospital in Vietnam.
methodsDemographic, clinical, laboratory, treatment, and outcome data were retrospectively collected from the medical records of adults hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed A(H1N1)pdm09 infection between 2009 and 2019.
resultsAmong 729 patients with laboratory-confirmed A(H1N1)pdm09 infection, 21.7% (158/729) developed pneumonia. Among patients with pneumonia, 36.7% developed moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, 15.2% required invasive ventilation, 48.7% were admitted to the ICU, and 8.2% died. Independent predictors of ICU admission included age older than 60 years (AOR 18.91, 95% CI 3.60-99.24), the presence of comorbidities (AOR 9.39, 95% CI 2.75-32.06), and laboratory evidence of systemic inflammation, renal dysfunction, and hepatic involvement. Intensified antiviral therapy (AOR = 8.577, 95%CI 1.416-83.341, P = 0.020), and invasive ventilation (AOR 8.426, 95%CI 1.105-141.366, P = 0.039) were independently associated with mortality.
conclusionsMortality associated with A(H1N1)pdm09-related pneumonia remains substantial. Older patients, those with comorbidities, and those presenting with abnormal laboratory findings should be monitored closely for deterioration requiring intensive care. The study did not demonstrate improved outcomes with intensified antiviral regimens. Prospective studies are required before definitive treatment recommendations can be made.
