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

Norovirus (NoV) and sapovirus (SaV) are major viral pathogens causing acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in both children and adults in developed countries and are also responsible for large-scale outbreaks. However, in Quebec, Canada, there are limited and updated data with respect to the genotypes circulating and implicated in outbreaks, particularly for SaV. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and genotype predominance of NoVs and SaVs associated with AGE outbreaks in Quebec, Canada. Confirmed NoV and SaV outbreaks from long-term care facilities and hospital settings between September 2011 and April 2016 were investigated (
