Effect of Exclusive Breastfeeding on Rotavirus Infection among Children.
Synthesis in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo assess, whether exclusive breastfeeding plays a protective role in Rotavirus infection among children under age of five and to estimate whether breastfeeding has an impact on reducing the severity and symptoms among children infected with Rotavirus.
methodsA systematic search was performed in Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE/PubMEd (from 1980 to present), ScienceDirect (from 1980 to present), OVID (from 1980 to present) and regional database IndMED. All the studies along with the research publications with descriptive, case series, cross sectional, case control and cohort studies (prospective and retrospective) that provided effectiveness of exclusive breastfeeding were considered for this review. Two review authors independently scrutinized the studies and extracted the data. In case of disagreement, the senior reviewer was consulted.
resultsTotal seven studies qualified for the systematic review in which 6 studies qualified for meta-analysis. Exclusive breastfeeding was found to be effective in prevention of Rotavirus infection and in reducing the risk of Rotavirus infection among children (OR = 0.62, 95 % CI = 0.48-0.81).
conclusionsThis systematic review suggests that there is significant benefit in prevention of Rotavirus diarrhea among children by practicing exclusive breastfeeding throughout first 6 mo of life. Thereby, this study provides next reason to promote exclusive breastfeeding practice among mothers.
