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 study epidemiological profile, prevalence, and molecular epidemiology of RVGE in hospitalized under-5 children at a tertiary care teaching rural hospital located in sub-Himalayan belt of Northern India.

methodsThis was a hospital-based surveillance study done over 4 y (2016-2019) including under-5 children hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Demographic and clinical parameters were recorded in a pre-designed performa. After consent, stool samples were collected and sent to Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore for RV screening by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Each EIA-positive sample was further subjected to G and P typing using published methods.

resultsOut of total 851 included children, rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) was detected in 23.03% (196/851) cases by EIA. The highest incidence for RVGE-positive cases (40.43%) was observed in 2016 with gradual decline over next 3 y. Maximum cases of diarrhea were observed in 12-23 mo age group along with highest rotavirus detection. G3P[8] was most common genotype (46.94%) found, followed by G1P[8] (13.78%), G2P[4] (4.59%), G1P[6] (8.16%) and G9P[4] (3.57%). Mixed genotype was seen in 13.78% of total cases.

conclusionThis study summarizes the changing trends in the epidemiology of RVGE in Northern India along with the major circulating genotypes postvaccine introduction.
