Legionella pneumophila monoclonal antibody subgroups and DNA sequence types isolated in Canada between 1981 and 2009: Laboratory Component of National Surveillance.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Legionella pneumophila (Lp) is a significant cause of nosocomial, community-acquired, and travel-associated pneumonia in industrialized regions. Legionellosis has been a nationally notifiable disease in Canada since 1986, with an average of 75 cases reported annually; however, only the most severe, and often fatal, cases are reported or investigated. Here, epidemiological relationships, types, and distribution of Lp referrals to the Canadian national reference center were studied. Lp strains from different years, sources, and geographic locations were subtyped using a sequence-based typing (SBT) scheme and by the 'Joly' and/or 'Dresden' monoclonal antibody panels. Included were 128 epidemiologically unrelated clinical and 86 unrelated environmental strains. Sixty-four (index of diversity [IOD] = 0.964) and 45 (IOD = 0.888) sequence types (STs) were observed among clinical and environmental sources, respectively. Serogroup (sg) 1 was represented by 60.2% (77/128) and 52.3% (45/86) of clinical and environmental strains, respectively, and 63.6% (49/77) and 15.6% (7/45) of those were mAb2-positive, respectively. Serogroup 1, ST1 accounted for 14.1% (18/128) and 30.2% (26/86) of unrelated clinical and environmental isolates, respectively. This database will serve as a basis for Canadian epidemiological surveillance efforts and is linked to global surveillance initiatives curated by the European Working Group for Legionella Infections (EWGLI) network.
