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

The decline in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), following the introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccination (PCV-7), was tempered by emergence of non-vaccine serotypes, particularly 19A. In Australia, three years after PCV-7 was replaced by PCV-13, containing 19A and 19F antigens, serogroup 19 was still a prominent cause of IPD in children under five. In this study we examined the evolution of serogroup 19 before and after introduction of paediatric vaccines in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Genomes of 124 serogroup 19 IPD isolates collected before (2004) and after introduction of PCV-7 (2008) and PCV-13 (2014), from children under five in NSW, were analysed. Eleven core genome sequence clusters (cgSC) and 35 multilocus sequence types (ST) were identified. The majority (78/124) of the isolates belonged to four cgSCs: cgSC7 (ST199), cgSC11 (ST320), cgSC8 (ST63) and cgSC9 (ST2345). ST63 and ST2345 were exclusively serotype 19A and accounted for its predominantly intermediate penicillin resistance; these two clusters first appeared in 2008 and largely disappeared after introduction of PCV-13. Serogroup 19 was responsible for the highest proportion of vaccine failures in NSW. Relatively low immunogenicity of serogroup 19 antigens and Australia's three-dose vaccine schedule could affect the population dynamics of this serogroup.
