Defeating meningitis by 2030 - an ambitious target.
Article in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Acute bacterial meningitis remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity, especially in lower-income countries. Thus, in 2017, a group of people concerned with this continuing problem came together to plan a way forward. A task force was established, a baseline situation analysis undertaken and a road map for a new initiative 'Defeating Meningitis by 2030' prepared. This road map will be launched officially in September 2021. Additional finances for meningitis control will be needed, together with the support of many different institutions and people with different skills, if the 'Defeating Meningitis by 2030' initiative is to achieve its ambitious goals.
