Estimated Impacts of Rotavirus Vaccine Recommendation Changes in the U.S.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 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
In January 2026, the United States Department of Health and Human Services downgraded the recommendation for infant immunization with rotavirus vaccine to one of shared clinical decision-making. We use a validated model for the transmission dynamics of rotavirus to predict the magnitude and timing of increases in the number of rotavirus hospitalizations in the US and in representative states given possible decreases in vaccine coverage. Rotavirus hospitalizations are likely to increase within two to three years following a drop in vaccine coverage, resulting in over 200,000 hospitalizations between July 2026-June 2031 if coverage were to drop to 20%. The burden is likely to fall disproportionately on southern states that currently experience higher rates of rotavirus hospitalization.
