Nasopharyngeal Carriage, Antibiotic Resistance and Serotype Distribution of Streptococcus Pneumoniae among Healthy Adolescents in Zahedan.
Article in Iranian Red Crescent medical journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundColonization of nasopharynx by Streptococcus pneumoniae can lead to pneumococcal diseases. This study was performed to determine the carriage rate of nasopharyngeal S. pneumoniae in adolescents, antibiotic susceptibility and serotype prevalence in Zahedan, Iran.
methodsNasopharyngeal specimens from 865 adolescents (age range: 10-19 years old) attending eight schools in Zahedan, Iran, were collected and assessed by standard procedures to recover S. pneumoniae. The serotyping was carried out by latex agglutination test and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of penicillin as well as other commonly used antibiotics were determined by a broth dilution method.
resultsPneumococci were recovered from 15.7% (136/865, 95% confidence interval (CI) 12.3-18.9) of total samples which 119 isolates were typable with the available antisera. 1, 19A, 15C, 9V, 11A and 19F were found as the most frequent serotypes. Ninety three pneumococcal isolates were sensitive to penicillin. The MIC values of antibiotics tested were (μg/ml): penicillin 0.01-4, cefotaxime 0.01-4, ceftriaxone 0.02-128, chloramphenicol 0.08-32, ciprofloxacin 0.06-16, erythromycin 0.01-128, tetracycline 0.08-128 and vancomycin 0.02-1.
conclusionA clear diversity was seen in the serotype distribution of the S. pneumoniae isolates and most of the antibiotic resistant strains belonged to few serotypes. Healthy adolescents in Zahedan, Iran commonly show pneumococcal carriage and antibiotic resistance.
