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

Following the introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) in the routine immunization schedule of US children, the morbidity and mortality associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae infections have changed considerably. Post-licensure data from the United States have confirmed that PCV-7 has significantly decreased the incidence of vaccine-type susceptible and antibiotic-resistant invasive pneumococcal diseases, community-acquired respiratory infections, and nasopharyngeal colonization in vaccinated individuals and their contacts. An unintended consequence of immunization with PCV-7 is the simultaneous increase in the carriage rates of non-vaccine-serotype pneumococci (some of which are highly antibiotic-resistant) among vaccinated children (ie, replacement phenomenon). Neither the implications of increased non-vaccine-type colonization nor the additional role of inappropriate antibiotic use in this process is clearly understood, but the greatest concern is that replacement colonization may result in replacement disease. Future vaccination with PCV-7 in European countries could provide additional information.
