Meningococcal disease in Asia: an under-recognized public health burden.
Review in Epidemiology and infection, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03263403 (A Randomized Observer-blinded Controlled Non-inferiority Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Locally Manufactured Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine 'Ingovax ACWY' in Bangladeshi Healthy Adults.), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
A Randomized Observer-blinded Controlled Non-inferiority Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Locally Manufactured Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine 'Ingovax ACWY' in Bangladeshi Healthy Adults.

Abstract
A literature search traced existing information on meningococcal disease in Asia. Reviewed data describing the epidemiology of meningococcal disease in Asia are incomplete, due in part to absence of surveillance in many countries, poor bacterial detection methods and social and healthcare barriers to disease reporting. This suggests that meningococcal disease in some Asian countries may be under-recognized, with a need to introduce/improve existing surveillance and case identification systems. Nevertheless, in some developing Asian countries, the disease burden may be significant. Serogroup A meningococcal epidemics are responsible for high morbidity and mortality in some countries and continue to be an ongoing threat, particularly in developing countries. There is an increasing role played by serogroups C, Y, and W-135 in invasive disease, indicating evolving meningococcal disease epidemiology in some countries. Multivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines offer new opportunities in the region for reducing the meningococcal disease burden.
