Article in Qatar medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPertussis (whooping cough) is a vaccine-preventable disease caused by the bacterium
objectiveThis study aimed to describe the five confirmed cases of pertussis reported to HP-CDC, MOPH, Qatar, between January 1 and December 30, 2019. Summary of Cases: All five confirmed pertussis cases were under one year old, and three were boys. All except one were immunized-for-age, and three had not received any doses of pertussis-containing vaccine and in none of the cases had the mother received tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine during pregnancy. All infants were born in Qatar, and two were Qatari nationals.
conclusionThere may be a possibility of re-emergence of pertussis in Qatar. Active immunization and coverage maintenance are the best tools to prevent re-emergence. Undiagnosed and untreated pertussis cases are potential sources of infection. The partial or unimmunized groups may be significantly at risk, especially during infancy and before reaching the age to complete the three primary doses of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines. Focus on increasing awareness among those providing antenatal care, regarding the importance of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy, is necessary.
