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 pyogenes is a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality, especially in resource-limited settings. The development of a vaccine against S. pyogenes is a global health priority to reduce the burden of postinfection rheumatic heart disease. To support this, molecular characterization of circulating S. pyogenes isolates is needed. We performed whole-genome analyses of S. pyogenes isolates from skin and soft tissue infections in Sukuta, The Gambia, a low-income country (LIC) in West Africa where there is a high burden of such infections. To act as a comparator to these LIC isolates, skin infection isolates from Sheffield, United Kingdom (a high-income country [HIC]), were also sequenced. The LIC isolates from The Gambia were genetically more diverse (46
