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

backgroundInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) remains a global health problem. IPD incidence has significantly decreased by the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV). Nevertheless, non-PCV serotypes remain a matter of concern. Eight

methodsWGS using long reads sequencing (PacBio) was performed to produce complete circular genomes and to determine clonality, antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants.

resultsThe sequencing results yielded eight closed circular genomes. Three multilocus sequence typing (MLST) types were identified (ST11618, ST14184, ST15253). Both MLST and WGS analyses revealed that these isolates from Lebanon were genetically homogenous belonging to clonal complex CC230 and clustered closely with isolates originating from Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom and Iceland. Their penicillin binding protein profiles correlated with both β-lactam susceptibility patterns and MLST types. Moreover, the isolates harbored the macrolide and tetracycline resistance genes and showed a similar virulence gene profile. To our knowledge, this study represents the first report of complete phenotypic and genomic characterization of the emerging
