Viral Etiology of Acute Gastroenteritis Among Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals and Adjacent Host Population in Bangladesh.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundSince August 2017, Myanmar nationals from Rakhine state have crossed the border into Bangladesh and settled in Cox's Bazar, the World's largest refugee camp. Due to overcrowding, poor sanitation, and hygienic practices they have been under significant health risks including diarrheal diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the viral etiology of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) among forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals (FDMN) and adjacent Bangladeshi local host population (AHP).
methodsFrom April 2018 to April 2019, we collected stool specimens from 764 FDMN and 1159 AHP of all ages. We tested 100 randomly selected specimens from each group for the most common AGE viruses.
resultsAmong 200 diarrhea patients, 55% and 64% of FDMN and AHP patients, respectively, had viral infections; the most common viruses were rotavirus (29% vs 44%), adenovirus (24% vs 31%), and norovirus (14% vs 10%). In both populations, viral infections were significantly higher in children less than 5 years of age, compared with bacterial infections that were higher in patients older than 5 years of age (P ≤ .05).
conclusionsDisparities in viral and bacterial prevalence among various age groups warrant careful antibiotic usage, especially in children less than 5 years of age.
