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

Serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae (ser3) has emerged as a leading cause of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) despite targeted vaccination efforts. Preliminary evidence reported a differential impact of anti-ser3-pneumococcal-conjugate-vaccines (PCVser3) on different clinical presentations of ser3-IPD. Recently, a temporal association between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and IPD was observed in children, supporting a role of RSV in driving IPD dynamics. Ser3 IPD cases occurred in Tuscany from November 2005 to March 2024 were included. Comparisons of different clinical presentations (bacteremic pneumonias and osteomyelitis versus sepsis and meningitis) were made between younger and older patients and between vaccinated and unvaccinated ones. The temporal correlation between ser3 IPD, RSV and influenza was qualitatively described from 2015/2016 to 2023/2024. Among 160 ser3 IPD recorded cases, fully-immunized patients showed a significantly lower proportion of sepsis and meningitis compared to non-immunized patients (all ages: 7.5% versus 58.5%,
