A Rapid Epidemiological Tool to Measure the Burden of Norovirus Infection and Disease in Resource-Limited Settings.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundRapid, cost-effective tools are needed to estimate the disease burden of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and norovirus (NoV) in resource-limited settings.
methodsHouseholds with children (6 weeks-17 years) in rural Guatemala were randomly enrolled into 2 parallel AGE surveillance systems: (1) a prospective cohort, which included an enrollment visit followed by 1 year of prospective observation using a smartphone-based weekly symptom diary; and (2) 2 sequential cross-sectional rapid active sampling (RAS) surveys. Norovirus testing was performed during enrollment (all subjects) and for prospective AGE episodes (prospective cohort only).
resultsThe prospective cohort enrolled 207 households (469 children) from April to September 2015 followed by 471 person-years of observation; RAS survey 1 enrolled 210 households (402 children) during October to November 2015, and RAS survey 2 enrolled 210 separate households (368 children) during January to February 2016. The prospective cohort detected a NoV+ AGE prevalence of 11% and a population-attributable fraction (PAF) of -1.6% at enrollment, followed by an incidence of 1.4 episodes/100 person-years. Rapid active sampling surveys 1 and 2 identified a NoV+ AGE prevalence of 14%-21% and a PAF of 3.2%-12.4%.
conclusionsRapid active sampling surveys were practical and identified more cases of NoV infection and disease compared with a parallel prospective cohort in rural Guatemala.
