Association Between Weather Variables and Viral Gastroenteritis in the United States.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 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
Infectious gastroenteritis (IGE) is a major cause of pediatric morbidity globally, with viral pathogens accounting for a substantial proportion of cases. While seasonal patterns of viral IGE are well recognized, the association between specific environmental exposures, such as ambient temperature, and viral IGE has not been fully quantified. First, we performed a secondary analysis of data from a prospective, multisite study of children presenting to emergency departments at 5 medical centers across the continental United States, linking individual-level laboratory data to environmental exposures, including temperature, humidity, and air pollutants, measured during the 14 days preceding symptom onset. Mixed-effects logistic regression was applied to evaluate the association between viral IGE and environmental exposures, adjusting for site-level clustering and patient age. Among 868 children with IGE, higher ambient temperature was inversely associated with viral etiology (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, .36-.68;
