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

introductionIn Mexico,

methodsFrom October 2005 to September 2018, active/prospective surveillance looking for all patients admitted with suspected BM <16 years of age was performed at the Tijuana, Mexico, General Hospital. Tijuana, Mexico to San Diego, Unites States of America (USA), is the most transited border in the world. Isolation of pathogens was by either conventional culture or Real Time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), all patients were followed during and 3 months after discharge, and a descriptive analysis was performed. The effectiveness of PCV13 was determined by comparing the proportion of cases per month on pneumococcal BM before and after its implementation.

resultsThere were 86 confirmed BM cases.
