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

backgroundA notable reduction of the pneumococcal disease burden among adults was observed after the introduction of a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in childhood immunization programs. In 2010, a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) replaced PCV7 in many jurisdictions; a comparative assessment of PCV13's impact was missing. Our objective was to summarize the available data and assess the change in the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in adults after the introduction of PCV13 in childhood immunization programs.

methodsWe conducted a systematic literature search from January 1946 to May 2017 of randomized, controlled trials and observational studies OBS reporting the incidence of IPD, non-invasive pneumococcal disease, hospitalizations, and mortality in adults for the periods before and after the introduction of PCV13. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were pooled across studies using restricted, maximum-likelihood, random-effects models.

resultsFrom 3306 records,we included 29 OBS studies and 2033961 cases. Significantly lower IPD rates were seen after PCV13 introduction in adults aged <65 years (IRR 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-0.85) and those aged ≥65 years (IRR 0.86, 95% CI 0.81-0.91). Lower rates of IPD were seen with PCV7 (IRR 0.45, 95% CI 0.38-0.54) and PCV13 serotypes (IRR 0.60, 95% CI 0.54-0.68). A significantly higher IRR of 1.10 (95% CI 1.04-1.17) for non-vaccine serotypes was observed, especially among those aged 65 years and older (IRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.11-1.29).

conclusionsPCV13 use in children had a moderate impact on reducing the overall and vaccine-type IPDs, but there was a significant increase in non-vaccine type IPDs among adults, especially in those over 65 years.
