The challenges of sustaining measles elimination in Canada.
Article in Canada communicable disease report = Releve des maladies transmissibles au Canada, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Recent importations of measles into Canada have not generally led to large outbreaks, indicating that measles is well controlled in Canada. Isolated large outbreaks that have occurred remind us of the need to remain vigilant. Measles presents particular challenges because it is the most infectious disease known, it thrives among those who do not access the child health system for one reason or another, and we do not always have the information we need to identify and target communities with low immunization coverage. Outbreaks typically arise from Canadians who travel and are exposed to measles abroad. Controlling sporadic outbreaks arising from importations is time and resource intensive, which makes immunization for Canadians travelling outside the region of the Americas (where measles has been eliminated) a priority. To prevent importations of measles into Canada altogether requires other countries and regions of the world to make progress in eliminating measles.
