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 reactions to and antigenicity of two human-rhesus rotavirus (RRV) reassortants (human rotavirus strain D x RRV and human rotavirus strain DS1 x RRV) with the VP7 neutralization specificity of a serotype 1 or serotype 2 rotavirus were evaluated in a placebo-controlled double-blind trial in 116 1- to 5-month-old infants in Caracas, Venezuela. The children were randomly divided into five groups to receive orally the following inocula: (i) 10(4) PFU of D x RRV reassortant; (ii) 10(4) PFU of DS1 x RRV reassortant; (iii) 10(4) PFU of RRV; (iv) 5 x 10(3) PFU of D x RRV and 5 x 10(3) PFU of RRV; and (v) placebo. The children were examined daily for 7 days following vaccine administration; 8 to 26% of the vaccinated infants developed a mild febrile reaction which in most cases lasted only 1 day. Seroresponses to rotavirus were observed in 39 to 65% of the vaccinees by plaque neutralization assay and in 57 to 88% by an immunoglobulin A enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Vaccine shedding was detected in 53 to 86% of the vaccinees. Analysis of neutralization antibody responses indicates that the VP4 protein represents an important component of the response induced by the vaccines.
