Prevalence and associated factors of acute gastroenteritis in children and adolescents aged from 6 to 17 years old: a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database 1999-2018.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo explore the prevalence of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and associated factors in children and adolescents in the USA from 1999 to 2018 using nationally representative data.
designA retrospective cross-sectional study.
settingThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.
participants25 361 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years old. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Whether the patient suffered from AGE.
resultsTotally 1882 suffered from AGE. The overall monthly prevalence of AGE in children and adolescents was 7.69%. From 1999 to 2018, the prevalence of AGE in the USA had been decreasing over time. The decreasing trend was observed in all subgroups, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), education level, poverty index and eating food at the restaurant. There were two small upticks from 2003 to 2007 and 2013 to 2015. AGE was negatively associated with male compared with female (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.73 to 0.99, p=0.035), Mexican American (OR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.70 to 0.97, p=0.018) and non-Hispanic Black (OR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.69 to 0.93, p=0.003) compared with non-Hispanic White. AGE was positively associated with obesity compared with underweight and normal weight (OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.15 to 1.62, p<0.001).
conclusionThe monthly prevalence of AGE was 7.69% and showed a downward trend from 1999 to 2018 in the USA.
