Burden of rotavirus and other microorganisms in hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis in Yangon, Myanmar, before the introduction of rotavirus vaccine.
Article in IJID regions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: In developing countries, acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. In Myanmar, no comprehensive study has been done to investigate the microorganisms responsible for AGE among hospitalized children. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify the microorganisms responsible for AGE in children hospitalized in Myanmar before the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine. Methods: This prospective study enrolled children younger than 12 years with AGE who were hospitalized at the Yankin Children's Hospital in Yangon, Myanmar, between September 2019 and February 2020. Multiplex PCR (FilmArray Results: We collected stool samples from 92 patients. Multiple microorganisms (median 3; interquartile range 2-4) were detected in 81 patients (88%). Rotavirus and norovirus were detected in 77 (84%) and 33 patients (36%), respectively. The most frequent bacterial pathogen detected was Enteroaggregative Conclusions: Rotavirus is the predominant pathogen associated with AGE in hospitalized children in Myanmar. The introduction of a rotavirus vaccine will reduce the morbidity and mortality of children with rotavirus-associated AGE in Myanmar.
