Evaluation of a latex agglutination test (MRSA-Screen) for detection of oxacillin resistance in coagulase-negative Staphylococci.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
The MRSA-Screen (Denka-Seiken, Tokyo, Japan) latex agglutination test was evaluated for its ability to detect PBP 2a from 200 clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS; 84 mecA-positive strains and 116 mecA-negative strains) consisting of 108 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 37 S. saprophyticus, 15 S. haemolyticus, 11 S. hominis, 10 S. capitis, 10 S. warneri, and 3 S. lugdunensis species as well as 6 other species of CoNS. The assay was compared with susceptibility testing with an agar screen plate with oxacillin at 6 microg/ml (OXA6), by oxacillin disk diffusion (DD), by broth microdilution (BMDIL), by the E test, and with Vitek GPS-SV and Vitek GPS-107 susceptibility cards. PCR for the detection of the mecA gene was used as the "gold standard." The sensitivities and specificities for the methods evaluated were as follows: MRSA-Screen, 100 and 100%, respectively; OXA6, 100 and 99%, respectively; DD, 98 and 62%, respectively; BMDIL, 100 and 60%, respectively; E test, 100 and 51%, respectively; Vitek GPS-SV susceptibility card, 98 and 87%, respectively; and Vitek GPS-107 susceptibility card, 100 and 61%, respectively. The MRSA-Screen test accurately and rapidly detected oxacillin resistance in CoNS.
