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 clinical presentation of the viral enteric pathogens in newborn infants has not been adequately examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of viral intestinal infections in newborn infants. Clinical data of all term and preterm infants admitted to our tertiary neonatal intensive care unit from 1998 to 2007 with clinical signs of gastroenteritis (GE) or necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) were retrospectively reviewed and compared between infants with different viral enteric pathogens in stool specimens. In 34 infants with signs of GE or NEC, enteropathogenic viruses were found in stool specimens. Rotavirus was detected in 12 cases, of which two infants had NEC. Compared with infants with rotavirus or norovirus, infants with astrovirus more frequently suffered from NEC (p<0.05). In addition, an acute systemic inflammatory response was significantly more common in patients with astrovirus infection (astrovirus vs. rotavirus and astrovirus vs. norovirus, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Of eight children infected with norovirus, one infant had a systemic acute inflammatory response and NEC. This study demonstrates that in newborn infants, intestinal rotavirus, norovirus, and astrovirus infections may be associated with severe illness such as hemorrhagic enteritis resulting in bloody diarrhea or even NEC.
