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

Factors associated with severe dehydration from cholera among children in the community is still not fully understood. We analyzed the characteristics of the pediatric cases who were hospitalized in the community cholera treatment centers in the capital Lusaka between October 2023 and May 2024. Presence of underlying conditions (e.g. human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, severe acute malnutrition), specific catchment areas (e.g. low-income residential areas), and an early phase of the outbreak was associated with increased numbers of severe cases in the community by multivariate analysis. Our study highlighted the importance of mobilization of resources and efforts aimed at enhancing surveillance, risk communication, and case management in the early phase of the outbreak for children living in high-risk areas and those with underlying conditions, in order to reduce severe cases of cholera among children in the community.
