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

Our aim was to characterise by molecular techniques group A streptococci isolated from invasive infections in Hungary in 2004-2005. Twenty-six nonduplicate invasive GAS isolates were selected and examined. The mortality rate proved high (52.3%) for those cases (n = 21) where data were available. Predominant emm types were emm1 (n = 13, 50%) and emm80 (n = 5, 19.2%), but other M types (emm4, emm28, emm66, emm81.1, emm82, emm84) were also identified. Eight different PFGE types were distinguished, and each emm type showed an individual PFGE pattern. Our results show that--similarly to results obtained in several other countries--emm type 1 strains predominate among invasive GAS isolates, and that emm 1 type strains recovered from severe streptococcal infections were associated with the presence of the speA gene. The rate for macrolide resistance proved low: only two isolates showed elevated MICs for erythromycin.
