Meta-analysis and systematic review: efficacy of probiotics in combination with standard therapies for rotavirus enteritis.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Background: Rotavirus enteritis is the main cause of hospitalization and death in patients with diarrhea. There is no specific drug. Vaccine prevention is effective, but the oral route has safety concerns in developing countries. A safe and effective treatment is urgently needed. Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical analysis of conventional therapy combined with probiotics in patients with rotavirus enteritis. Materials and methods: We retrieved a total of 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1709 patients from multiple databases. Results: Results showed that probiotics significantly shortened recovery times for defecation frequency [mean difference (MD) = 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-1.60, Conclusion: Probiotics, by regulating gut microbiota and enhancing mucosal immunity, offer a safe and effective adjunct to conventional therapy for rotavirus enteritis.
