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

Our norovirus (NoV) surveillance group reported a >4-fold increase in NoV infection in Japan during the winter of 2006-2007 compared to the previous winter. Because the increase was not linked to changes in the surveillance system, we suspected the emergence of new NoV GII/4 epidemic variants. To obtain information on viral changes, we conducted full-length genomic analysis. Stool specimens from 55 acute gastroenteritis patients of various ages were collected at 11 sites in Japan between May 2006 and January 2007. Direct sequencing of long PCR products revealed 37 GII/4 genome sequences. Phylogenetic study of viral genome and partial sequences showed that the two new GII/4 variants in Europe, termed 2006a and 2006b, initially coexisted as minorities in early 2006 in Japan and that 2006b alone had dominated over the resident GII/4 variants during 2006. A combination of phylogenetic and entropy analyses revealed for the first time the unique amino acid substitutions in all eight proteins of the new epidemic strains. These data and computer-assisted structural study of the NoV capsid protein are compatible with a model of antigenic drift with tuning of the structure and functions of multiple proteins for the global outgrowth of new GII/4 variants. The availability of comprehensive information on genome sequences and unique protein changes of the recent global epidemic variants will allow studies of diagnostic assays, molecular epidemiology, molecular biology, and adaptive changes of NoV in nature.
