Nine-year surveillance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a hospital suggests instability of mecA DNA region in an epidemic strain.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 distributions of the antibiotic resistance patterns in a population of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a teaching hospital were studied over a 9-year period. The results indicate the existence of successive major epidemic methicillin-resistant strains and the emergence of a methicillin-susceptible strain with an unusual resistance pattern. Our findings suggest that this methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strain could be derived from the dominant gentamicin-susceptible methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain with the loss of a 40-kb DNA fragment.
