Asymptomatic carriage of Streptococcus pyogenes among school children in Sana'a city, Yemen.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesStreptococcus pyogenes is the most frequent cause of pharyngitis and skin infections in children. It is also the causative agent of dangerous immune-complications such as rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease which are common in Yemen. The aim of this study was to determine the throat carriage rate of Streptococcus pyogenes among asymptomatic school children in Sana'a city.
resultsA cross-sectional study was conducted from December to March of years 2012-2016. A total of 813 asymptomatic school children whose antistreptolysin O test was negative were included. The mean age of the students was 10.5 ± 2.8 years with a range from 5 to 15 years old. Throat swab and blood sample were taking from each student. One hundred and four (12.8%) healthy students were found to be Streptococcus pyogenes carriers. Pharyngeal Streptococcus pyogenes carriage rate was statistically insignificant among different age groups. However, it was found to be more common among females (66, 15%) than males (38, 10%) with statistically significant difference (χ
