Does group A strep have any skin in the ARF game?
Article in The Lancet regional health. Western Pacific, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
•The observation that indigenous populations of New Zealand have high rates of GAS skin infections as well as high rates of ARF suggest the two diseases are linked.•It is therefore important to screen skin infections for GAS in all populations but especially in individuals of Māori and Pacific Islander heritage in New Zealand and treat those that are positive.•Failure to adequately treat GAS skin infections could potentially lead more serious skin infection manifestations and possibly invasive disease as well as ARF in vulnerable groups such as the Māroi and Pacific Islanders.•More work needs to be done to show GAS skin infections can lead to ARF.
