Pandemic Social Distancing and Declines in Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Pneumococcus and Related Antimicrobial-Resistant Genes: Evidence From Household-Based Cohort Studies in Lima, Peru.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Peru implemented restrictive social distancing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies have examined patterns of nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage and related antimicrobial-resistant genes (ARGs), particularly in community-based settings with intense social distancing policies. Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were systematically obtained weekly from children and adults enrolled in 2 household-based prospective cohorts in Lima, Peru: prepandemic (2019-2020) and pandemic (2020-2021). Selected samples underwent sequencing-based detection of Results: An overall 663 specimens from 114 individuals were included: 407 and 256 samples from the prepandemic and pandemic cohorts, respectively. Carriage of pneumococcus was lower in the pandemic cohort (3.5%) as compared with the prepandemic cohort (23.6%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.09; 95% CI, .02-.32). Similarly, Conclusions: We observed a substantial reduction in the carriage of
