Early detection of rotavirus gastrointestinal illness outbreaks by multiple data sources and detection algorithms at a pediatric health system.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Using data from over 450,000 pediatric encounters three data sources were evaluated for their ability to support early detection of a yearly outbreak of rotavirus disease: 1) Laboratory studies ordered, 2) Diagnosis codes, and 3) Free text "reason for visit" strings categorized as Gastrointestinal syndrome by a support vector machine software classifier. We found that in this setting the categorized free text analyzed through simple control charts detected each outbreak within 10 days of their beginning as determined by laboratory detection of rotavirus antigen (the gold standard). Outbreak detection by laboratory studies was delayed an average of 14 days and by diagnosis codes by an average of 20 days. We conclude that categorized text may provide a valuable basis for real-time detection of disease outbreaks.
