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

Analysis of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) isolates in Hong Kong by use of a combination of antibiogram typing, serotyping, multilocus sequence typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis indicated that the dissemination of PNSP was the result of the spread of international clones: variants of the Spain(23F)-1 or Spain(6B)-2 clones were the predominant PNSP isolates from 1994 to 1997 and remained so, but Taiwan(19F)-14 and Taiwan serotype 6B clones were disseminated in Hong Kong in 1999 and 2000. Concomitant changes in antibiotic susceptibility profiles, with the rate of susceptibility to chloramphenicol rising from 10% in the period from 1994 to 1997 to 31% (P < 0.001) in 1999 and 2000, were noted to accompany the shift of clones.
