1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In China, inpatient/outpatient visits for rotavirus (RV)-associated diarrhea are common among children aged < 5 years. An interim analysis evaluated RV genotype circulation in China in an ongoing observational effectiveness study of a pentavalent (RV5) vaccine. Data were collected (October 2020-March 2021) from children eligible for vaccination with three doses of RV5 and receiving treatment for acute gastroenteritis. RV gastroenteritis was reported in 494 (62.1%) of the 796 children tested (median age, 15 months). The circulating genotypes were G9 (81.8%), G2 (5.5%), G8 (4.6%), and G3 (0.4%); no G1 or G4 genotypes were detected. The most common genotype combinations were G9P[8] and G2P[4].
