Hospitalizations for pertussis in Italy, 1999-2009: analysis of the hospital discharge database.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 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
Even if the incidence of pertussis has greatly decreased after the adoption of immunization, it still remains a relevant cause of death in infants in their first years of life. At national level, data are usually greatly underestimated. The objective of this study was to retrospectively review the national hospital discharge form database. The national database was retrospectively searched using the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, Clinical Modification system. In the period 1999-2009, 7,768 hospitalizations for pertussis (primary diagnosis) have been registered: 6,971 hospitalizations and 797 day hospital admissions. The annual mean was equal to 633.6 hospitalizations and 72.4 day hospital admissions. The majority of hospitalizations (57.4 %) involved subjects <1 year of age; the mean duration of stay was about 6 days. Conclusion These data, even if restricted to hospitalizations registered at national level, confirm the epidemiological impact of pertussis and its complications in a country with a consistently high vaccination coverage rate.
