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

Fifty-two Haemophilus influenzae isolates from patients with invasive disease in the province of Manitoba, Canada, were examined for serotype, biotype, genotype, and antibiotic susceptibility. Half of the 52 isolates were found to be serotype a, and 38.5% (20 isolates) were found to be nonserotypeable (NST). There were only three serotype b strains and one each for serotypes c, d, and f. All 26 serotype a isolates belonged to biotype II and demonstrated identical or highly similar DNA fingerprints by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. An analysis of these isolates by multilocus sequence typing showed that they belong to the clonal complex ST-23. While 69% (18 of 26) of the serotype a cases were found in males, only 9 (45%) of the 20 patients with NST isolates were males. Twenty (77%) of the 26 serotype a isolates were from patients who were </=24 months old. Twelve (63%) of the NST isolates were from adult or adolescent patients. In contrast to the clonal nature of serotype a isolates, the 20 NST isolates were found to belong to 18 different sequence types. Most of these 18 different sequence types were unrelated to each other, with the exception of 7 sequence types grouped into three clonal groups. Two (6.25%) out of 32 serotypeable isolates (1 serotype a and 1 serotype b) and 6 (30%) of 20 NST isolates were resistant to ampicillin due to beta-lactamase production. These results suggest a change in the epidemiology of H. influenzae disease, with the majority of invasive H. influenzae isolates being associated with serotype a and NST strains.
