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

Natural infection by very similar strains of rotavirus during the 1988-1989 rotavirus season in Cincinnati, Ohio, provided complete protection of young children against subsequent rotavirus illnesses for a period of at least 2 years. Using this limited strain variability, we characterized the association between the titers of antibody to either the VP4 or the VP7 neutralization protein and protection against subsequent rotavirus disease. This was done by using reassortants that contained only one of the two rotavirus neutralization proteins of 89-12, a culture-adapted isolate representative of the protective rotavirus strains. The other neutralization protein in these reassortants was derived from a heterologous rotavirus (WC3 or EDIM) to which the infected subjects made little or no neutralizing antibody (titers, < or = 20). The geometric mean titer (GMT) of antibody to 89-12 in convalescent-phase sera from the 21 subjects analyzed was 2,323. The GMT of antibody to a reassortant (strain WC-4) that contained the VP7 protein of 89-12 and VP4 of WC3 was 387. In contrast, the GMT of antibody to a reassortant (strain EDIM-7) that contained the VP4 protein of 89-12 and the VP7 protein of EDIM was 1,078. Thus, the major neutralization response was directed against VP4 rather than VP7, a finding that has important implications for development of appropriate rotavirus vaccines.
