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

In five separate fecal collections spanning three years, group A rotaviruses were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 35 (25%) of 142 specimens obtained from nondiarrheic, hospitalized neonates in Blantyre, Malawi. Molecular characterization of each strain identified, for the first time in neonates, a short electropherotype, genotype P[6], G8 strain type, similar to the dominant, cocirculating community strain detected in symptomatic infants in Blantyre. Partial sequence analysis of the VP4 and NSP4 genes of neonatal and community strains failed to identify changes which could explain the differences in clinical outcome. Neonatal serotype G8 rotaviruses should be considered as potential rotavirus vaccine candidates for use in Malawi.
