Higher prevalence of rotavirus infection among out-born newborns transferred to a regional neonatal intensive care unit in Korea.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRotavirus is one of important pathogens which require infection control in nurseries and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
methodWe retrospectively reviewed 1,135 out-born newborns who were transferred to a regional tertiary NICU of Chungbuk National University Hospital between January 2012 and December 2016. We assessed the clinical characteristics of newborns based on the results of rotavirus surveillance tests. The prevalence of rotavirus was evaluated according to the year, month, and season.
resultsAmong the 1,135 infants, 213 (18.8%) had positive results in the rotavirus surveillance test. The rotavirus positive group had a significantly higher gestational age, birth weight, and Apgar score. They also had a significantly higher rate of postpartum care centers when compared to the rotavirus negative group (45.5% vs. 12.6%, P < 0.001). Notably, the prevalence of rotavirus was significantly increased from 3.2 to 33.8% when infants were hospitalized 48 h after birth (P < 0.001). During the study period, there were no significant differences in the annual, monthly, or seasonal prevalence of rotavirus infection. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that more active screening for rotavirus infection is necessary, especially for out-born newborns admitted to NICUs 48 h after birth or hospitalized after using postpartum care centers in Korea.
