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

Japan has maintained measles elimination status since 2015. However, sporadic outbreaks of measles have been continuously reported. Here, we report a case of a measles-infected postpartum mother and infant in Japan. A 28-year-old Japanese woman, who had previously received a dose of the measles vaccination, experienced fever 5 days postpartum. Subsequently, a maculopapular rash appeared, and she was diagnosed with measles. Moreover, her baby developed a fever and maculopapular rash on the 13th day of life, 2 days after postexposure prophylaxis with intravenous immunoglobulin, and was also diagnosed with measles. Both showed full recovery. This case suggests that measles can still be a threat in a measles-eliminated country, and the administration of two doses of measles vaccination to women prior to childbearing age is crucial to protect newborns from measles.
