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

In 2023, the Global Pertussis Initiative met to assess the burden of and vaccination policies against pertussis in 10 Latin American countries. Although pertussis is a notifiable disease in the represented countries, poor disease awareness, underrecognition in older individuals, and limited laboratory capacity and supplies challenge the collection of robust epidemiological data. Infants in all 10 countries receive a 3-dose primary series followed by ≥2 boosters. Except for Paraguay and Venezuela, governments of the represented countries advise or mandate vaccination in pregnancy; however, coverage rates remain suboptimal. Healthcare providers and the public should be educated on how mothers and other contacts can serve as asymptomatic carriers of
