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

Impressive reductions in pertussis have been achieved in the U.S. during the 20th century through childhood vaccination. Over the past two decades, increasing pertussis incidence has highlighted the need for accurate and timely reporting of cases to improve prevention and control efforts. We assessed components of the pertussis case definition, comparing use of clinical characteristics and laboratory results and their effects on internal validity, including an examination of the 2014 infant case definition. All reported pertussis cases in Michigan during 2000-2010 with data on cough length (
