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

objectivesInfants aged <8 months are ineligible for measles vaccination in China but represent a disproportionate number of cases. We examined the risk factors for measles among infants in Tianjin, China. STUDY

designCase-control study.

methodsCases were enrolled from a surveillance system, and IgG-negative controls were sampled from registries at immunization clinics. A logistic regression model assessed for risk factors.

resultsAmong 82 cases and 485 controls, exposure to a municipal hospital (OR [odds ratio]: 5.21; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-22.82) or a specialty hospital (OR: 13.22; 95% CI: 6.13-28.51) was associated with the disease, whereas visiting a township or district hospitals was not associated with increased odds of measles.

conclusionsHospitals were an important focal point of measles transmission for infants. Hospitals, particularly higher-level municipal and specialty hospitals, should enforce infection control programs to separate infants with highly communicable diseases to prevent transmission.
