Factors Associated with Rotavirus Positivity in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis in Jharkhand, India (2019-2023).
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 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
objectivesJharkhand was the first state in India to introduce ROTASIIL to reduce rotavirus diarrhea-related morbidity and mortality in children. This analysis focused on the burden of rotavirus diarrhea, associated risk factors, and the most prevalent rotavirus genotypes in children hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis (AGE).
methodsSurveillance of AGE in children aged under 5 y was carried out in 12 health facilities in four districts of Jharkhand from 2019 to 2023. Stool samples were screened for rotavirus, and the positive samples were subsequently genotyped. Factors associated with rotavirus positivity were identified using multivariable logistic regression.
resultsOf 3,319 children screened, 1,937 eligible children were included in the analysis. Of 1,801 stool samples tested, 39.8% were rotavirus-positive, with a peak prevalence in the winter months. The total family size [aOR 95% CI, 0.69 (0.55-0.86)], paternal education [aOR 95% CI, 0.68 (0.55-0.85)], age of the child [aOR 95% CI, 0.37 (0.25-0.55)], rotavirus vaccination status [aOR 95% CI, 0.66 (0.50-0.86)], and length of hospital stay [aOR 95% CI, 0.82 (0.66-1.01)] were significantly associated with rotavirus positivity. The most prevalent rotavirus genotypes were G2P[4], and G3P[8].
conclusionsRotavirus remains an important cause of gastroenteritis in children aged under 5 y, particularly in infants, despite the availability of rotavirus vaccination. Declining rotavirus positivity in children with AGE and changes in the distribution of rotavirus genotypes during the study period may be attributable to the effects of vaccination.
