Persistence of Streptococcus pneumoniae urinary antigen excretion after pneumococcal pneumonia.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
The aim of this study was to determine the duration of Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen excretion in urine after pneumococcal pneumonia. Urinary antigen detection remained positive in nonconcentrated urine in 18 (52.9%) of the 34 patients in the first month after pneumonia diagnosis. In 12 of these positive cases, the test was still positive in the second month, in six patients after 4 months, and in two cases 6 months after the diagnosis of pneumonia. Using concentrated urine, antigenuria remained positive in all patients for at least 3 months, with antigen detected in three cases more than one year later. We did not observe a relation between age, gender, immunosuppression, underlying diseases, pneumonia severity, positive blood culture, or X-ray presentation and longer-term antigenuria excretion. However, the small number of patients evaluated is a limitation for statistical analysis. In order to correctly analyse a positive urinary antigen test result in patients with pneumonia, it is necessary to know which patients have recently had a previous episode of pneumonia.
