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 estimate the burden of rotavirus diarrhea among under-five children admitted with acute gastroenteritis and to identify genotypes of rotavirus among positive rotavirus cases.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted from August 2017 to July 2019 in Government General Hospital and 5 private pediatric nursing homes (Padma Children's Hospital, Mother and Child Hospital, Chandamama Children's Hospital, Vennela Hospital) in Kakinada. Children admitted to the pediatric ward with acute gastroenteritis were included in this study. Stool samples were collected from all these children and tested for rotavirus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the positive samples were genotyped using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.

resultsRotavirus diarrhea was seen in 7.4% of children among all diarrhea admissions. The mean age of the rotavirus-positive children was 13.1 ± 10 mo. The most common genotype in 2017 was G3P[8], and that in 2018 and 2019 was the mixed genotype.

conclusionIn this study, mixed genotype was found to be most common.
