Influence of different delivery modes on the clinical characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We analyzed the effects of delivery methods on Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia in infants. Three hundred forty-four children hospitalized with Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia were enrolled. They were divided into the vaginal delivery group and the cesarean delivery group. We compared and analyzed their age of onset, peripheral blood white blood cell count, liver enzymes, chlamydia trachomatis titers, and chest radiograph scores. Seventy-eight (22.7%) were delivered by a cesarean, and 266 (77.3%) were delivered vaginally. There were no statistically significant differences between groups when compared by sex and age (P > 0.05). Copy numbers and white blood cell counts in the peripheral blood of children with Chlamydia trachomatis in respiratory secretions of the vaginal delivery group were significantly higher than those of the cesarean delivery group (P < 0.05). The alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels between groups were not statistically significant. Comparisons of admission chest radiography scores, discharge radiography scores, and score differences showed no statistical differences (P > 0.05).
conclusionInfants delivered by cesarean comprise approximately one-fifth of those affected. The Chlamydia trachomatis titers and peripheral blood leukocyte counts of the vaginal delivery group were higher than those of the cesarean delivery group. Age of onset, liver enzymes, pulmonary inflammation, and pneumonia absorption were not different between groups. What is Known: • Chlamydia trachomatis is an important pathogen that causes lower respiratory tract infections in infants. • C. trachomatis is primarily transmitted to infants through the infected mother, resulting in Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia subsequently. What is New: • Vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery can result in Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia transmission; however, cesarean delivery accounts for ~ 20% of cases. • C. trachomatis volume in the respiratory tract and the number of peripheral blood leukocytes in infants delivered vaginally were higher than those in infants delivered by cesarean.
