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

introductionEpidemiologic evaluations of Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal (NP) colonization and pneumococcal disease suggest that newer serotypes in future formulations of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are needed and there may need to be continued reformulations because there are many new emerging serotypes expressed by pneumococci. Areas covered: Mechanisms of protection by next-generation whole-cell vaccine (WCV) and/or multi-component pneumococcal purified protein vaccines (PPVs) in development for prevention of pneumococcal infections. Expert commentary: A long-term strategy for prevention of pneumococcal disease will likely include WCV and PPVs. However these vaccines will impact disease pathogenesis in a different manner than PCVs. Prevention of pneumococcal NP colonization should not be expected, nor is it desirable because risks for NP colonization by other replacement organisms into the ecological niche vacated by all pneumococci may have consequences. The expression biology of capsule and surface protein antigens are phase dependent. Therefore, the immune response will be different and the mechanism of protection divergent. WCVs and PPVs may be alternative strategies in low income developing countries to protect against invasive disease and reduce NP carriage load.
