Frequent recovery of a single clonal type of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from patients in two hospitals in Taiwan and China.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
One hundred thirty-two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates recovered from patients with S. aureus infections between January 1998 and February 1999 in two hospitals, one located in Taipei, Taiwan, and another in Nanjing, People's Republic of China, were examined for antibiotic susceptibility and for clonal type by a combination of three methods: hybridization of ClaI restriction digests with mecA- and Tn554-specific DNA probes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal SmaI digests. Selected isolates representing each clonal type were also analyzed by spaA typing, multilocus sequence typing, and a multiplex PCR method capable of identifying the structural type of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) carried by the bacteria. The overwhelming majority of isolates (126 of 132 or 95%) belonged to minor variants of a single clonal type resembling the Brazilian and Hungarian epidemic MRSA clones, which showed a common spaA type and which were either sequence type 239 (ST239) or ST241 (a single-locus variant of ST239) in association with SCCmec type III or IIIA.
