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

Mumps cases continue to occur, also in countries with a relatively high vaccination rate. The last major outbreaks of mumps in the Netherlands were in 2009-2012 and thereafter, only small clusters and single cases were reported. Molecular epidemiology can provide insights in the circulation of mumps viruses. The aims of the present study were to analyze the molecular epidemiology of mumps viruses in the Netherlands in 2017-2019 and to compare the phylogenetic trees built from sequence data of near complete mumps virus genomes or from the SH gene and non-coding regions (SH+NCRs). To this end, Sanger sequence data from SH+NCRs were analyzed from 82 mumps genotype G viruses. In addition, near complete genomes were obtained from 10 mumps virus isolates using next-generation sequencing. Analysis of SH+NCRs sequences of mumps genotype G viruses revealed the presence of two major genetic lineages in the Netherlands, which was confirmed by analysis of near complete genomes. Comparison of phylogenetic trees built with SH+NCRs or near complete genomes indicated that the topology was similar, while somewhat longer branches were present in the phylogenetic tree with near complete genomes. These results confirm that analysis of SH + NCRs sequence data is a useful approach for molecular surveillance. Furthermore, data from recent mumps genotype G viruses might indicate (intermittent) circulation of mumps genotype G viruses in the Netherlands in 2017-2019.
