Diarrhoeal disease in under five year olds: an epidemiological study in an Australian aboriginal community.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The incidence of diarrhoeal disease was determined during a two year period 1985-1986 in under five year old children in an Aboriginal community in South Australia. The incidence was 1.02 episodes/child/year in 1985 and 0.90 episodes/child/year in 1986. In both years the highest incidence was in the 12-23 month age group. A total of 42 episodes of dehydration were recorded and 39 evacuations to hospital were effected. Children who lived in houses were more prone to develop diarrhoea than those who lived in camps or who alternated between living in camps and houses. The high incidence of diarrhoea may be due to lack of adequate facilities for personal and domestic hygiene, unsuitable housing and an unhygienic environment.
