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

The aim of this study has been to determine the incidence of diverse human rotavirus strains circulating in Thailand between October 2004 and April 2006 by means of molecular characterization. Pediatric patients aged between 2 months and 5 years diagnosed with acute diarrhea (n=307) in Bangkok and Buriram, Thailand were tested for human rotavirus A (RV-A) by RT-PCR. A total of 130 specimens (42.3%) were found RV-A positive and 126 were characterized by direct sequencing of the capsid glycoproteins VP7 and VP4. BLAST/FASTA analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed genotypes G1P[8] (85.7%), G2P[4] (2.4%), G2P[8] (0.8%), G3P[8] (1.6%), G9P[8] (8.7%), and the uncommon strain G3P[19] (0.8%). Varying sites of polymorphism over time imply dependence on geographical location along with seasonal variation of relative incidence and distribution of rotavirus types. Thus, continuous molecular monitoring of human rotavirus epidemiology is essential for adjusting vaccine development.
