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

Rotavirus serotype G9 is recognized as the most widespread of the emerging serotypes, emerging since 1996 as a frequent cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in children from many countries covering all continents of the world. This study characterized serotype G9 strains collected in three widely separated Australian centers from 1997 to 2001. All G9 strains possessed the VP4 P[8] and VP6 subgroup II genes. The overall prevalence of the G9 strains increased in Australia, from 0.6% of the strains found in 1997 to 29% of the strains found in 2001. The prevalence of G9 relative to all other serotypes varied from year to year and with geographic location. In Melbourne (representing east coast urban centers), G9 made up 11 to 26% of all of the strains found from 1999 to 2001. In Perth (representing west coast urban centers), G9 made up less than 2% of the strains found in 1997 to 2000 but increased to 18.6% of the strains found in 2001. In Alice Springs (representing widely dispersed settlements in northern arid regions), G9 made up 0 to 5% of the strains found from 1997 to 2000 and was the dominant strain in 2001, making up 68.9% of all of the strains found. Three distinct antigenic groups based on reaction with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (N-MAbs) were identified, including a dominant group (63%) that cross-reacted with the serotype G4 N-MAb. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7-encoding gene from Australian strains, compared with a worldwide collection of G9 strains, showed that the Australian G9 strains made up a genetic group distinct from other serotype G9 strains identified in the United States and Africa. Future epidemiological studies of the occurrence of G9 strains should combine reverse transcription-PCR and typing with G1 to G4 and G9 N-MAbs to determine the extent of G9 and G4 cross-reactions among rotavirus strains, in order to assess the need to incorporate G9 strains into new candidate vaccines.
