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

backgroundPneumonia is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to estimate the global hospitalisation due to

methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of primary studies following the PRISMA-P guidelines. We searched Medline, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, Global Index Medicus, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and CQvip. We included studies reporting data on

findingsOf 26,218 studies identified, thirty-five studies enroling 20,708 hospitalised pneumonia episodes were included. Out of the total hospitalised pneumonia cases in this population, the pooled proportion of Staphylococcal pneumonia cases was 3% (95% CI 2% to 4%; I

interpretationOur findings are probably an underestimate because of the unknown and the likely limited sensitivity of current testing methods for Staphylococcal pneumonia diagnosis and widespread reported use of antibiotics before recruitment (in 46% of cases).
