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

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an important cause of acute respiratory tract infections. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and molecular features of hMPV infection among hospitalized patients in Romania. We performed an analysis of prospectively collected surveillance data from patients hospitalized with influenza-like illness or severe acute respiratory infection and tested by RT-PCR for the presence of respiratory viruses between November 2023 and May 2025. Only cases of hMPV monoinfection were analyzed. Clinical, laboratory, and outcome data were analyzed, and a subset of samples with high viral load underwent genetic sequencing of the hMPV fusion (F) gene. A total of 71 patients met the criteria. Children accounted for 62.0% of cases. The clinical features were nonspecific, dominated by cough (87.3%), fever (80.3%), and nasal congestion (47.9%). Adults were significantly more likely to develop dyspnea and respiratory failure requiring oxygen supplementation (51.9% vs. 6.8%,
