Higher rates of streptococcal colonization among children in the Pacific Rim Region correlates with higher rates of group A streptococcal disease and sequelae.

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
Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngeal colonization rates were determined among 1061 asymptomatic students in Hawaii and American Samoa where acute rheumatic fever rates are high. All GAS isolates were emm sequence typed. Although pharyngeal colonization rates were low in Hawaii (3.4%), Pacific Islander children had significantly higher colonization rates (5.7% vs. 1.2% in other ethnic groups, p <0.05). The colonization rate was higher in American Samoa (13%). Few emm types that were infrequently observed in symptomatic infections in Hawaii were repeatedly identified in both sites. These emm types were previously described among asymptomatic children suggesting a type-specific association with pharyngeal colonization.
