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

Objectives: To monitor the spread of invasive meningococcal disease due to group C of the clonal complex 10217 isolates beyond the sub-Saharan African meningitis belt. Methods: Cases were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction in blood or cerebrospinal fluid samples and further characterized by multi-locus sequence typing that defined sequence type and clonal complexes. Sequencing of Results: Between July and December 2023, we identified four cases of invasive meningococcal disease among adults, with two fatal cases in Algeria. Three cases were among subjects who recently arrived in Algeria from sub-Saharan African countries and one case was reported in an autochthonal subject. A case was also detected in France in 2018 in a subject who traveled to Cameroon. All five cases were provoked by group C isolates and belonged to the clonal complex cc10217 with identical PorA (P1.21-15,16) and FetA (F1-7) markers. The Conclusions: Our results suggest that serogroup C isolates belonging to cc10217 are spreading beyond the meningitis belt. The data underscore the need for enhanced surveillance to inform vaccination strategies.
