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

backgroundWe aimed to estimate the incidence rate of rotavirus-associated diarrhea in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, from 2018 to 2022.

methodsData from the hospital information systems of eight sentinel hospitals and the Healthcare Utilization and Attitudes Survey were used to calculate the incidence rate of rotavirus-associated diarrhea in Monte Carlo simulation.

resultsThe findings revealed a decline in the positivity rate of rotavirus among medically-attended patients with diarrhea, from 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.0–15.0) in 2018 to 5.2% (95% CI: 4.2–6.2) in 2022. The incidence rate of rotavirus-associated diarrhea decreased from 60.5 cases per 1000 person-years (95% CI: 43.4–79.4) during the period 2018–2019 to 10.3 cases per 1000 person-years (95% CI: 7.3–13.9) during the period 2020–2022. A marked decline in the incidence rate of rotavirus-associated diarrhea was observed in community-dwelling populations during the period 2020–2022, compared with the pre-pandemic period of 2018–2019.

conclusionWe evaluated the positivity rates of rotavirus and incidence rate of rotavirus-associated diarrhea in Pudong New Area, thereby providing valuable data to clarify the actual disease burden of rotavirus-associated diarrhea. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
