Associations between potential bacterial pathogens in the nasopharynx of HIV infected children.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate bacterial associations of S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and H. influenzae in the nasopharynx of ambulatory children with HIV infection.
methodsA cross-sectional nasopharyngeal swab survey of 148 children with HIV infection from West Bengal presenting for routine outpatient care was conducted.
resultsForty-one (28 %) children carried S. pneumoniae, 35 (24 %) carried S. aureus and 39 (26 %) carried H. influenzae. Seventeen (11 %) had dual colonization with S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae, 13(8.8 %) had dual colonization with S. pneumoniae and S. aureus, and 6(4 %) had dual colonization with S. aureus and H. influenzae. Three (2 %) had triple carriage with H. influenzae, S. aureus, and S. pneumoniae. Neither Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis nor ART (antiretroviral therapy) affected colonization with any organism. There was no association between HIV immune status, recent antibiotic use, exposure to other children, household tuberculosis exposure and colonization with any organism. There was a strong negative association between malnutrition and colonization with H. influenzae.
conclusionsThe negative association between S. pneumoniae and S. aureus colonization in the nasopharynx described in healthy populations was not present. The authors found a strong positive association between carriage with H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae. These findings provide insight into the increased risk of invasive disease from these organisms in HIV infected children.
