Genotypic Characterization of Human Respiratory Syncytial Viruses Detected in Mexico Between 2021 and 2024.
Article in Viruses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a leading cause of severe respiratory infections among children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals. The COVID-19 pandemic and the non-pharmacological interventions to mitigate it resulted in significant changes in HRSV epidemiology and seasonality patterns. Worldwide, there was a considerable reduction in the number of HRSV infections during that period, and the impact of those changes on genotype distribution is still not fully understood. In this work, we analyzed the genotypic characteristics of HRSV strains detected between 2021 and 2024 in Mexico with the aim of identifying changes in circulating lineages. HRSV positive samples collected in five states in Mexico were used. The complete viral attachment glycoprotein gene was sequenced, and phylogenetic inference was performed using datasets including all sequences available at GenBank and GISAID until 30 June 2024. We obtained 114 HRSV sequences (63.2% HRSV-A and 36.8% HRSV-B); 19 were from the 2021-2022 season, 53 from 2022-2023, and 42 from 2023-2024. All HRSV-A sequences clustered with sequences from other countries within A.D lineages, including A.D.1, A.D.3, A.D.5.1, and A.D.5.2 lineages. All HRSV-B sequences clustered in the B.D.E.1 lineage with sequences collected between 2020 and 2024. In conclusion, the characterization of HRSV viruses circulating in Mexico during and after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and comparison to all available sequences reported to date corroborates that, on a global scale, HRSV-A viruses of several A.D lineages circulate simultaneously, while HRSV-B viruses are restricted to the B.D.E.1 lineage.
