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

Group A rotaviruses (RVA) are the main causing agents of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, having a great impact on childhood mortality in developing countries. The objective of this study was to identify RVA-positive fecal samples with mixed P genotypes by hemi-nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), followed by sequencing confirmation. Our results showed that, from the 81 RVA-positive samples, 25 were positive for more than one P genotype by hemi-nested RT-PCR. Of these 25 samples, 12 (48%) had their mixed P genotypes confirmed by sequencing and, from these, 10 were identified as P[6]P[8], one as P[4]P[6], and one as P[4]P[6]P[8]. Our results confirm the occurrence of RVA mixed infections among children in Brazil and reinforce the importance of the constant monitoring of RVA circulating strains for the efficacy of control/prevention against these agents.
