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

Among a retrospective cohort of 65 786 outpatient encounters for children >3 years with acute respiratory tract infection at an academic institution in 2023, 38 790 (59%) had a rapid group A streptococcal (GAS) test ordered. Testing rates differed significantly by race, ethnicity, insurance type, social vulnerability index, visit location, and clinician type, and children in historically underserved and socially vulnerable groups were less likely to undergo GAS testing compared to their social counterparts.
