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

Pediatric diarrheal disease is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the developing world. While several studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of diarrheal illness in boys compared with girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the reasons for this difference are unclear. This secondary analysis of the dehydration: assessing kids accurately (DHAKA) derivation and validation studies included children aged <5 years old with acute diarrhea in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The dehydration status was established by percentage weight change with rehydration. Multivariable regression was used to compare percent dehydration, while controlling for differences in age and nutritional status. In this cohort, a total of 1396 children were analyzed; 785 were male (56.2%) and 611 were female (43.8%). Girls presenting with diarrhea were older than boys (median age 17 months vs. 15 months,
