Invasive disease potential of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes before and after 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction in a rural area, southern Mozambique.

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
backgroundInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. In April 2013, Mozambique introduced 10-valent PCV (PCV10) into the National Expanded Program on immunization using a three-dose schedule at 2, 3, and 4 months of age. We aimed to evaluate the invasive disease potential of pneumococcal serotypes among children in our region before and after PCV10 introduction.
methodsWe used data from ongoing population-based surveillance for IPD and cross-sectional pneumococcal carriage surveys among children aged <5 years in Manhiҫa, Mozambique. To determine the invasive disease potential for each serotype pre- and post-PCV10 introduction, odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated comparing serotype-specific prevalence in IPD and in carriage. For each serotype, OR and 95% CI > 1 indicated high invasive disease potential and OR and 95% CI < 1 indicated low invasive disease potential.
resultsIn the pre-PCV10 period, 524 pneumococcal isolates were obtained from 411 colonized children and IPD cases were detected in 40 children. In the post-PCV10 period, 540 pneumococcal isolates were obtained from 507 colonized children and IPD cases were detected in 30 children. The most prevalent serotypes causing IPD pre-PCV10 were 6A (17.5%), 6B (15.0%), 14 (12.5%), 23F (10.0%) and 19F (7.5%), and post-PCV10 were 6A (36.7%), 13 (10%), 1 (10.0%), 6B (6.7%) and 19A (6.7%). Serotypes associated with high invasive disease potential pre-PCV10 included 1 (OR:22.3 [95% CI 2.0; 251.2]), 6B (OR:3.1 [95% CI 1.2; 8.1]), 14 (OR: 3.4 [95% CI 1.2; 9.8]) and post-PCV10 included serotype 6A (OR:6.1[95% CI 2.7; 13.5]).
conclusionThe number of serotypes with high invasive disease potential decreased after PCV10 introduction. Serotype 6A, which is not included in PCV10, was the most common cause of IPD throughout the study and showed a high invasive potential in the post-PCV10 period.
