Epidemiological profile of rotaviral infection in India: challenges for the 21st century.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundRotaviruses cause acute viral gastroenteritis worldwide. It has been estimated that, each year, 440,000 deaths that occur among children are attributed to rotavirus infection, mainly in developing countries. In India, the diversity of rotaviruses reported during the 1980s and 1990s emphasizes the need for surveillance of cocirculating strains, to follow the rapid changes in circulation and to detect novel strains.
methodsWe analyzed data from published epidemiological studies, to collate available information on serotyping and genotyping of rotaviruses before the initiation of a national rotavirus surveillance program. The studies included 18 Indian cities and were performed during 1996-2001.
resultsRotaviruses were detected in 23.4% of patients with diarrhea who presented to the hospital. There were marked geographic differences in virus circulation, with G1 being the single most common G type identified in all parts of India, except for western India. Group B rotaviruses were reported from Kolkata and Pune. Human infections with strains G6, G8, G10, and G9P[19], which may occur as a result of zoonotic transmission of bovine and porcine rotaviruses, were reported from western, southern, and eastern India.
conclusionsThe remarkable diversity of rotaviruses circulating in India highlights the need for uniform, widespread surveillance for rotaviruses before the initiation and during the implementation of immunization programs.
