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

Serum samples from 870 Ecuadorian children who underwent natural rotavirus exposure were tested for neutralizing serum antibody to heterologous animal rotavirus (RV) serotypes. Six percent of the sera neutralized porcine RV OSU (serotype 5), 10% neutralized bovine RV NCDV (serotype 6), 4% neutralized avian RV Ch-2 (serotype 7), and 8% neutralized bovine RV V1005 (serotype 10). Neutralization was defined as a 90% reduction in infectious virus at a 1:100 serum dilution. The prevalence of antibody to all four heterotypic viruses increased with the age of the children and the number of human RV serotypes neutralized, but prevalences did not differ significantly between children from rural and urban areas of Ecuador. No serum sample that specifically neutralized bovine RV NCDV was identified. We inferred from the seroepidemiological analysis that human RVs contain immunorecessive neutralization epitopes that can stimulate cross-neutralizing antibody to heterotypic animal RVs. This occurs increasingly with age and with the number of human serotypes recognized by a child's neutralizing antibody. Thus, it appears that a broadened immune response to the heterotypic strains occurs with repetitive RV infections.
