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

Norovirus is a major pathogen identified in children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), little is known about the strain's diversity and their clinical severity. Stool and/or rectal swabs were collected from children ≤18 years of age recruited at emergency departments (ED), and a provincial nursing advice phone line due to AGE symptoms in the province of Alberta, Canada between December 2014 and August 2018. Specimens were tested using a reverse transcription real time PCR and genotyped by Sanger sequencing. The Modified Vesikari Scale score (MVS) was used to evaluate the disease severity. The objectives are to identify the Genogroup and Genotype distribution and to compare illness severity between the GI and GII genogroups and to complete further analyses comparing the GII genotypes identified. GII.4 was the genotype most commonly identified. Children with GII.4 had higher MVS scores (12.0 (10.0, 14.0;
