Invasive meningococcal disease in children in Jerusalem.
Article in Epidemiology and infection, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Neisseria meningitidis is an important cause of childhood meningitis and septicaemia. Between 1999 and 2005, 133 invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) cases occurred in Jerusalem, 112 (84.2%) of them in children aged 0-14 years. The annual incidence rate in Jerusalem was higher than the national average (2.45+/-0.6 vs. 1.13+/-0.16/100 000 population, P=0.002). Most of the children (82.1%) were from low socio-economic Arab and Jewish ultra-orthodox communities; mortality was higher among Arab than Jewish children (1.3 vs. 0.22/100 000 person-years, P=0.004). A cluster of 10 children with severe meningococcal sepsis (three fatalities) emerged in the winter of 2003-2004. Compared to the other 102 cases in 1999-2005 both meningococcaemia (100% vs. 51%, P=0.003) and mortality (30% vs. 6.9%, P=0.014) rates were higher. Serogroup B comprised 77.6% of the bacterial isolates. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed considerable variability among cluster isolates, but significant resemblance in Arab cases throughout 1999-2005. The increased susceptibility of specific sub-populations to IMD necessitates further evaluation.
