Diversity of group A human rotavirus types circulating over a 4-year period in Madrid, Spain.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The incidence and distribution of human rotavirus G types among children under 5 years old with acute gastroenteritis were determined over a 4-year period (1998 to 2002) by using monoclonal antibodies and reverse transcription-PCR methods. Rotavirus was detected in 1,155 (31%) of 3,760 specimens tested. Rotavirus was studied in every month of the 48-month survey period. Rotavirus activity occurred mainly (51%) in the typically cooler months in Spain (November to February). The age distribution of rotavirus-positive cases showed that 90% of patients (1,038 of 1,155) were under 2 years old. Rotavirus types were determined for 576 of 1,155 patients (50%). G1 was the main genotype detected (53%), and the second most common was G4 (24%). The G2, G9, and G3 rotavirus types were detected in 14, 6, and 2% of the cases, respectively. Dual infections were detected in only 0.6%. The seasonal distribution of genotypes showed a significant genotypic shift: whereas G4 strains predominated (57%) during the 1998 to 2000 seasons, the G1 gradually increased to account for 75% in the 2000 to 2002 seasons. In addition, the present study reports the first detection of the G9 genotype in human fecal samples in Spain. Therefore, additional types may be required for vaccine development strategies that currently target only types G1 to G4.
