Disease burden of rotavirus related diarrhea in children under 5 years in China: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Rotavirus (RV) is a leading cause of severe diarrhea among children under five years of age in China. In this meta-analysis, we assessed the disease burden of RV-related diarrhea by analyzing 73 studies retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases (2013-2023). The incidence of RV-related diarrhea ranged from 0.637 /1000 to 31.46/1000 persons. The pooled RV positivity rate for the under-5 age group was 24.7% (95% confidence interval: 22.1-27.4), with higher positivity rates observed among inpatients compared to outpatients (24.1% vs. 22.2%). Notably, the RV positivity rate declined from 27.3 to 21.5% pre- and post- the RotaTeq
