Pathogen Profile of Children Hospitalised with Viral Respiratory Infections in Galati County, Romania.
Article in Viruses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Respiratory infections are the most common infectious diseases among children, representing a cause of death and generating a significant number of hospitalisations. The aim of the study was to analyse the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of viral pathogens causing respiratory tract infections in newborns and young children admitted to Galati pediatric hospital between October 2022 and December 2023. The diagnosis was performed using multiplex RT-PCR panels, which allowed simultaneous identification of respiratory pathogens (viruses and bacteria). From a total of 803 hospitalised patients with respiratory diseases, 607 (75.6%) children had a positive result for at least one respiratory virus and 96 patients (11.9%) were identified with bacterial infections. Mixed coinfections were found in almost half of the patients (44.5%). Most of RSV positive children had an increased length of stay, more than 7 days. It was shown a decline in severe cases of viral respiratory infections with prolonged hospitalisation as patients age up to 5 years.
