Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

«IMPORTANCE OF THE PNEUMOCOCCUS IN COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN TENDER-AGE INFANTS ON THE BACKGROUND OF VACCINATION» The authors of the manuscript provide data demonstrating that una pneumonia against the background of vaccination is accompanied by a change in the etiological structure. The article is a new idea and overall it is well written and structured. However, simple study design, lack of patient baseline and follow-up data limit the conclusion of withdrawal. I invite the authors to solve the following questions: 1) There are many spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors. Authors should correct mistakes and rewrite the article in a clear and understandable style. I have visited the authors with the help of a language expert on rewriting. 2) The main problem of the manuscript is poor statistical processing and statistical reporting. The authors stated: “All data were expressed as confidence intervals. Thus, it is unclear whether the etiological structure was normally distributed. Moreover, following normal scientific practice, authors should indicate specific statistical significance values ​​when comparing each test parameter. 3) The cited literature is relevant to the research and meets the requirements of the journal. But mentions of 9/19 were published over 10 years ago. I recommend reading current research on this topic. In conclusion, the work makes a good impression. On the other hand, it can be published after significant changes with reference to the comments mentioned above, including bug fixes and rewriting of the article in a clear and easily understandable style.
