Ten-year surveillance of pneumococcal infections in Temuco, Chile: implications for vaccination strategies.
Article in Clinical and vaccine immunology : CVI, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
We monitored Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes causing invasive infections in patients admitted to one hospital in southern Chile during a 10-year period (1994 to 2004). All specimens isolated from patients with invasive S. pneumoniae infections were serotyped at the CDC in Atlanta, GA. A total of 508 isolates belonged to 58 serotypes. There were 95 infections in patients <2 years old, 33 infections in patients 2 to 4 years old, 61 infections in patients 5 to 14 years old, 66 infections in patients 15 to 44 years old, 134 infections in patients 45 to 64 years old, and 120 infections in patients >or=65 years old. The 10 serotypes isolated with the highest frequency in all groups were, in decreasing order, 1, 3, 14, 5, 19F, 6B, 7F, 12F, 23F, and 6A. The 10 most frequent isolates in children under 2 years of age were 1, 6B, 14, 19F, 5, 23F, 6A, 9V, and 7F. In patients >or=65 years old, the most common serotypes were 3, 7F, 1, 14, 19A, 23F, 19F, 35B, 4, and 5. Penicillin resistance was detected in 14 (2.7%) clinical specimens isolated since 1998, with 13 resistant strains identified since 2001. Vaccine coverage for the 7-valent conjugate vaccine was 42% for children <2 years of age. This study is important for the design of vaccines for this region and to evaluate public health measures to decrease pneumococcal infections.
