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

Rotavirus A (RVA) is a major cause of gastroenteritis in infants and young children. After vaccine introduction, RVA surveillance has become more important for monitoring changes in genotype distribution, and the semi-nested multiplex-PCR is a popular method for RVA genotyping. In particular, the VP7 primer set reported by Gouvea and colleagues in 1990 is still widely used worldwide as the recommended WHO primer set in regional and national reference RVA surveillance laboratories. However, this primer set yielded some mistakes with recent epidemic strains. The newly emerged equine-like G3 strains were mistyped as G1, G8 strains were mistyped as G3, the G9 lineage 3 strains showed very weak band, and the G9 lineage 6 strains showed a G9-specific band and a non-specific band. Gouvea's standard protocol has become relatively unreliable for identifying genotypes correctly. To overcome this limitation, we redesigned the primer set to include recent epidemic strains. Our new primer set enabled us to correctly identify the VP7 genotypes of representative epidemic strains by agarose gel electrophoresis (G1, G2, human typical G3, equine-like G3, G4, G8, G9, and G12). We believe that the multiplex-PCR method with our new primer set is a useful and valuable tool for surveillance of RVA epidemics.
