Surveillance and Genotypic Distribution of Rotavirus Diarrhea in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India.
Observational study in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesOn April 7, 2018, the rotavirus (RV) vaccine was introduced into the Universal Immunization Program of Jharkhand. This study was undertaken to describe the epidemiology, sociodemography, and clinical and genotypical distribution of children aged < 5 y with acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in Dhanbad, Jharkhand.
methodsThis hospital-based, prospective, observational study was performed across three hospitals in Dhanbad between December 2019 and December 2023. Admitted children with AGE aged < 5 y were included, and data for all enrolled children (as defined in the study protocol) were captured. The collected stool samples were tested for RV, and positive samples were genotyped.
resultsOf the 591 children enrolled, 510 stool samples were eligible for RV testing; 237 (46.5%) children were found to be RV-positive, of whom 103 (57.2%) were aged 12-23 mo. The odds of developing RV gastroenteritis were 1.26 times higher in females than males (95% CI: 0.86-1.85; p = 0.22). G2P[4] was the most prevalent strain in RV-positive children, followed by G3P[8].
conclusionsThe results of this study confirm that diarrhea remains an important cause of hospitalization in children aged < 5 y; additionally, the impact of untreated drinking water among hospitalized children with diarrhea is high. The changing genotypic distribution pattern of RV emphasizes the need for continued surveillance and the detection of new genotypes.
