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
backgroundStreptococcus pneumoniae is an important problem worldwide and nasopharyngeal colonization plays significant role in pneumococcal infections. The aims of this study were to determine the nasopharyngeal colonization rate, serotyping, antibiotics susceptibility and study the risk factors for nasopharyngeal colonization with S. pneumoniae in students in Kashan, Iran.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on children aged 7 to 19 years from December 2011 to November 2012. Nasopharyngeal swabs were plated onto brain heart infusion agar plates with 5% sheep blood and 4µg/ml of gentamycin. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were determined on Mueller-Hinton agar in accordance with CLSI. S. pneumoniae strains were investigated for the presence of the most common pneumococcal serotypes using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
results13.9% were found to be carriers. The most prevalent serogroups were 19F (30%), 6A/B (18.9%), 15A (16.5%), 11 (11.3%), 23F (8.2%), 1 (6.2%), 19A (3.4%), and 35B (2.4%). Nine strains (3.1%) were non-typeable. The carrier rate was significantly higher in 12 to15 year old age group. Upper respiratory tract infections within the last month (OR=1.5, P<0.011), previous hospitalization (OR=1.6, P<0.001), previous antibiotic usage last two weeks (OR=1.89, P<0.001), rhinorea (OR=1.9 P<0.001), male sex (OR=3.5 P< 0.001) and passive smoking (OR=1.56, P< 0.001) have been determined to be risk factors for S. pneumoniae carriage. The highest pneumococcal resistance was to tetracycline (25.4%). All strains were susceptible to linezolid and levofloxacin.
conclusionOur information leads to an important source to screen the future impact of pneumococcal vaccination on bacterial colonization.
