Staphylococcus lugdunensis infections: high frequency of inguinal area carriage.
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 48 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
Following a change in surgical practice, we noted that the rate at which Staphylococcus lugdunensis was isolated from samples from the plastic surgery unit of our hospital increased considerably. We investigated the sources of these S. lugdunensis strains, and we found that in the case of drain colonization or surgical site infection, the strain was more likely to have come from the patient's skin bacteria when the pubic site had been shaved preoperatively. To test the hypothesis of pubic site colonization, we evaluated the prevalence of S. lugdunensis carriage among the cutaneous flora of the inguinal area. We found that 22% of 140 incoming patients carried S. lugdunensis in this area and that carriage at both inguinal folds was frequent (68% of carriers). A study of the genetic structure of the total population, including the clinical (n = 18) and the commensal (n = 53) strains, revealed that the diversity of the species was low and that the population was composed of two major groups that diverged at a distance of 35%. No particular characteristics made it possible to distinguish between clinical and commensal strains. Only isolates producing beta-lactamase were homogeneous; six of the eight beta-lactamase-positive strains displayed the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern.
