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

Background: The prevalence of serotypes and antimicrobial resistance of Methods: A total of 353 pneumococcal isolates were collected from Japanese children between March and July 2023. All the isolates were serotyped using genetic methods and tested for susceptibility to 14 antimicrobial agents. Results: Among the 353 isolates, the prevalence rates of non-PCV13 and non-PCV20 serotypes were 96.9 % and 77.9 %, respectively, including the dominant non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes 23A (16.1 %), 35B (15.3 %), 15A (10.5 %), 15C (9.3 %), and 34 (9.1 %), which accounted for 60.3 % of all isolates. The high non-susceptibility rates were observed for macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin; ≥81.9 %) and tetracycline (80.7 %). Penicillin non-susceptibility and multidrug resistance (MDR) were detected in 49.9 % (6.8 % resistant and 43.1 % intermediate) and 68.3 % of the isolates, respectively. The three most common non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes 15A, 23A, and 35B exhibited high prevalence rates of penicillin non-susceptibility (≥89.5 %) and MDR (≥81.5 %). Extensive drug resistance was observed in 10.5 % of all isolates belonging to six different serotypes (12F, 23A, 11A, 15A, 35B, and 15B) and in the non-encapsulated strains of Conclusions: Our study revealed a higher prevalence of non-susceptibility to penicillin with MDR in the three most common non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes 15A, 23A, and 35B, in Japan, suggesting their persistence in the PCV13 era.
