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

An unusual group A rotavirus (RVA) strain MAR/ma31/2011/G8P[14] was detected for the first time in Morocco in a stool sample from hospitalized child aged 18 months suffering from acute gastroenteritis and fever in 2011. Complete genome sequencing of the ma31 strain was done using the capillary sequencing technology. The analysis revealed the G8-P[14]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A11-N2-T6-E2-H3 constellation and the backbone genes: I2-R2-C2-M2-A11-N2-T6-E2-H3 are commonly found in RVA strains from artiodactyls such as cattle. The constellation was shared with another Italian zoonotic G8P[14] strains (BA01 and BA02), two Hungarian human strains (182-02 and BP1062) and a sheep RVA strain OVR762. Phylogenetic analysis of each genome segment of ma31 revealed a mixed gene configuration originated from animals and human. Comparison of the antigenic regions of VP7 and VP4 amino acid sequences between ma31 strain and selected animal and human strains bearing G8 and or P[14], showed a high level of conservation, while many substitutions was observed in comparison with RotaTeq™ and Rotarix™ vaccine strains. In contrast, alignment analysis of the four antigenic sites of VP6 revealed a high degree of conservation. These findings reveal a typical zoonotic origin of the strain and confirm a high potential for RVA zoonotic transmission between bovine and humans, allowing the generation of novel rotavirus genotypes.
