Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance on the Treatment of Invasive Pneumococcal Infections.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 diseases, such as pneumococcal pneumonia, which were almost invariably lethal in the pre-antibiotic era, caused radically less mortality with the advent of antimicrobial chemotherapy. However, the use, misuse, and abuse of these agents have led to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In the past, pneumococci were all exquisitely sensitive to penicillin G. By the late 1960s, penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) was being described. Since then, this problem has achieved epidemic proportions in many areas of the world, including the United States. Many experts no longer consider penicillin an acceptable therapy for patients suspected of having invasive pneumococcal disease, especially if the central nervous system (CNS) is involved. Recommendations for therapy are based on theoretical concerns, in vitro susceptibility testing, animal data, and a few, scattered reports of penicillin failure in patients with invasive disease.
