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

A total of 773 pneumococcal isolates were collected from a nationwide surveillance of invasive pneumococcal diseases during 1999-2003 prior to the implementation of the 7-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in Italy. The isolates included vaccine serotypes (VS, 393 isolates), vaccine-related serotypes (VRS, 93), and nonvaccine serotypes (NVS, 279). The ten most prevalent serotypes were: 14 (16.4%), 3 (8.4%), 23F (8%), 19F (7.4%), 4 (5.9%), 7F (5.8%), 9V (5.3%), 6B (4.9%), 19A (4.7%), and 1 (3.7%). VRS or NVS isolates showed a lower rate of penicillin or drug resistance than VS. Representative isolates of the major VS, VRS, and NVS were genotyped by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The isolates examined were found to belong to 18 international clones and to eight newly described clones. VS isolates sharing clonal groups with VRS or NVS were also detected. Evidence of a past history of capsular switching events was observed in five clones.
