Continuous Effectiveness of Pneumococcal 13-Valent Conjugate Vaccine on Pediatric Pneumococcal Otomastoiditis: Results of 15 Years of Active/Prospective Surveillance in a Mexican Hospital on the Mexico-US Border.

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
Introduction The effectiveness of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) on sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia, and even acute otitis media has been proved in many studies. Nonetheless, the impact of PCV13 on otomastoiditis (OM) in children has barely been reviewed. In the past, we published a 13 years pneumococcal OM study from our hospital. This is a continuation of our active surveillance and is the first Latin American, prospective study examining the effectiveness of this vaccine on pneumococcal pediatric OM. Methods Active surveillance identifying patients < 16 years of age with OM admitted at the "Hospital General de Tijuana" was performed from October 1, 2005, to September 30, 2019. Diagnosis of OM was based on clinical exam (postauricular tenderness, erythema, and swelling causing protrusion of the auricle) and computerized tomographic signs (opacification of the mastoid air cells and middle ear). We used either conventional culturing or PCR to isolate bacterial pathogens, while to further
