Typical and atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in children with acute diarrhoea: Changing trend in East Delhi.
Article in Biomedical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWorldwide around 2 million deaths occur every year due to diarrhoeal illnesses among children less than 5 years of age. Among diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli, Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) is highly prevalent in both community and hospital settings and is one of the main causes of persistent diarrhea in children in developing countries. EPEC remains underdiagnosed in India due to lack of conventional tools for identification.
methodsWe in this study investigated the prevalence and regional variation of EPEC in paediatric population suffering from diarrhoea in East Delhi, India. Two hundred stool samples were collected from children, aged between 0.5 and 5 years, with acute diarrhoea. E. coli were identified by conventional tests and PCR.
resultsWe observed 7% atypical EPEC (aEPEC) and 2.5% typical EPEC (tEPEC), with an overall 9.5% EPEC prevalence amongst total samples. E. coli phylogenetic group A was the predominant. The most common age group affected was 6-23 months with common symptoms being vomiting, watery diarrhoea and severe dehydration. High drug resistance pattern was observed in EPEC isolates.
conclusionThe study depicts a changing trend of aEPEC over tEPEC in children less than 5 years with diarrhoea, an emerging drug resistant enteropathogen and a public health concern demanding monitoring and surveillance.
