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

objectiveTo understand the prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea and its associated clinical and socio-demographic characteristics.

methodsThe prospective hospital-based study was conducted at SVP Post Graduate Institute of Pediatrics and SCB Medical College, Odisha, India among children under-five years of age from April 2016 to July 2019. From all eligible children admitted at hospital, a case-report form containing information on clinical and socio-demographic characteristics was collected and an attempt was made to collect stool sample. A simple logistic regression method was used to assess factors associated with rotavirus diarrhea.

resultsOf the 1963 children, median (IQR) age was 12 (8-19) mo with a female/male ratio was 1:2.05. The prevalence of rotavirus diarrhea was 36.4% (95% CI, 34.2%-38.6%). Children in the age group of 6-11 (OR 1.64, 95% CI, 1.24-2.18), 12-23 (OR 1.73, 95% CI, 1.31-2.29) mo had higher odds of getting rotavirus diarrhea, compared to those in that of 24-59 mo. The prevalence of wasting, stunting, underweight among children with rotavirus diarrhea was 25.2% (95% CI, 22%-28.4%), 2.1% (95% CI, 1.1%-3.1%), 9.0% (95% CI, 6.8%-11.2%), respectively.

conclusionThe results of this study confirmed that diarrhea remains an important cause of hospitalization in children. Further studies are required in the community for Rotavirus and its genotyping.
