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

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in young children, older adults, and those with immunocompromised status. Since the introduction of pneumococcal vaccines, the burden of invasive pneumococcal disease caused by vaccine serotypes (STs) has decreased; however, the effect on the burden of CAP is unclear, potentially due to the lack of testing for pneumococcal STs. We describe the development, qualification, and clinical validation of a high-throughput and multiplex ST-specific urine antigen detection (SSUAD) assay to address the unmet need in CAP pneumococcal epidemiology. The SSUAD assay is sensitive and specific to the 15 STs in the licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine V114 (STs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) and uses ST-specific monoclonal antibodies for rapid and simultaneous quantification of the 15 STs using a Luminex microfluidics system. The SSUAD assay was optimized and qualified using healthy adult urine spiked with pneumococcal polysaccharides and validated using culture-positive clinical urine samples (
