Research Progress and Applications of the Rotavirus Reverse Genetics System.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. 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
Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe, dehydrating diarrhea in infants and young animals, causing significant global morbidity and mortality. For decades, research was hindered by challenges in establishing reverse genetics systems due to the virus's complex segmented genome and poor cell culture adaptation. The first helper virus-dependent system (2006) was limited by low efficiency. A 2017 breakthrough established the first fully plasmid-based system, which eliminated helper viruses and revolutionized the field. Subsequent optimizations, such as codon modification and CRISPR/Cas9 integration, have significantly enhanced efficiency, enabling viable systems for diverse human and animal strains. This narrative review summarizes the evolution and technological milestones of rotavirus reverse genetics. We discuss critical applications in analyzing viral gene function, developing novel vaccines, screening antiviral drugs, and investigating cross-species transmission. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future prospects of this transformative technology.
