Characterizing
Article in IJID regions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: Our goal was to describe Invasive Meningococcal Disease (IMD) in Southern Vietnam over the last 10 years. We characterized 109 Methods: IMD were confirmed by bacterial culture and/or real-time polymerase chain reaction at the national reference laboratory in Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City (PIHCM). Antimicrobial resistance was determined on 31 IMD and two sexually transmitted infection isolates with E-test for chloramphenicol (CHL), penicillin (PEN), ciprofloxacin (CIP), ceftriaxone (CRO), and rifampicin (RIF). Sequencing was performed for analyzing of multilocus-sequence-typing (MLST), Results: The incidence rate during this period was 0.02 per 100,000 persons/year. Serogroup B accounted for over 90% of cases (50/54). ST-1576 were mainly responsible for IMD, 27/42 MLST profiles, and associated with CHL resistance. Resistance was prevalent among IMD isolates. Thirteen were resistant to CHL (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≥16 mg/l), 12 were intermediate to PEN (MIC between 0.19 and 0.5 mg/l), and five were CIP-resistant (MIC between 0.19 and 0.5 mg/l). Particularly, one was non-susceptible to CRO (MIC at 0.125 mg/l), belonging to ST-5571 lineage. The resistance was due to carrying resistant alleles of Conclusion: Our results suggest the persistence of the circulating ST-1576 in Southern Vietnam, with a spread of antimicrobial resistance across the community.
