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

methodsWe investigated the epidemiology of

resultsOf 104 participating children, 57 (54.8%) gave a positive culture for

conclusionsOur findings have revealed the circulation of a pool of pneumococci isolates with high levels of antibiotic resistance and different degrees of likelihood of causing invasive diseases in children under five years old in Tripoli in 2016. The overall limited PCV13 vaccine coverage in this study highlighted the need for vaccines with greater coverage in the immunization programs in Lebanon. Longitudinal national studies investigating the carriage of pneumococci in children are required to further assess the impact of the PCV vaccine on pneumococci carriage in children and steer new vaccine development.
