1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

S. pneumoniae infection remains a serious public health concern despite the availability of vaccines covering up to 23 of more than 94 known serotypes. The purpose of the present study was to monitor recent serotype distribution data. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Reviews and Ingenta databases were searched. Serotype data covering invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and non-IPD were extracted from articles published from March 2014 to March 2015. Fifty-nine studies presented pneumococcal serotype prevalence by specific age categories. Most prevalent serotypes not covered by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) were as follows: 15B, 22F, 15A, 23A among children under the age of 7 y with IPD; among adults with IPD: 22F, 11A, 10A, 38 in the 65 y and older age group; 12F, 9N, 8 in the 50-64 year-old age group and 12F, 8, 6C, 16F in the 15-59 age group. Geographic variations in serotype distribution highlight the importance of monitoring evolving pneumococcal serotype prevalence after pneumococcal vaccine implementation.
