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

Objectives: To describe the distribution of Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data from cerebrospinal fluid samples collected in Bobo-Dioulasso and surrounding districts and analyzed at the National Reference Laboratory for bacterial meningitis. Results: Among 3823 suspected cases, 3341 samples underwent polymerase chain reaction, confirming 1186 cases (35.5%). The highest number of samples was recorded in 2012 (32.9%), mainly from Dafra district (20.2%). Conclusions: The results emphasize the need to strengthen epidemiological surveillance and adapt vaccination strategies to achieve meningitis elimination in Africa.
