Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Presenting with Pyogenic Spondylitis in a Patient on Chronic Hemodialysis Who Previously Received a Pneumococcal Vaccine.

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
We herein report a case of cervical pyogenic spondylitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a woman on chronic hemodialysis who had received pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23. The patient presented for routine hemodialysis with a fever but without focal signs. Blood cultures revealed S. pneumoniae (serotype 38, non-vaccine serotype type). Cervical magnetic resonance imaging showed C4-C5 marrow edema and endplate destruction. After brief empiric piperacillin-tazobactam, outpatient treatment comprising outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy with ceftriaxone was continued for six weeks, resulting in clinical resolution. Nonvaccine serotype invasive pneumococcal disease can cause spondylitis despite vaccination. Magnetic resonance imaging should be performed for similar patients to avoid neurological complications.
