Two international methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones endemic in a university hospital in Patras, Greece.
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 59 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of SmaI macrofragments and hybridization of ClaI digests with the mecA- and Tn554-specific DNA probes were used to define the endemic clones of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among strains collected in 1993 and 1998 to 2000 at the University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece. Representatives of each clonal type were analyzed by spaA typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) typing. The results indicated the existence of two successive international MRSA clones: (i) a clonal type with PFGE type A, sequence type (ST) 30 (ST30), and SCCmec type IV, which was very similar to a clone widely spread in the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Finland, and (ii) a clonal type with PFGE type B, ST239, and SCCmec III, which was related to the Brazilian clone. Both clones seem to be widespread in Greece as well. A novel MRSA clone is also described and is characterized by a new MLST type (ST80) associated with SCCmec type IV and with the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes.
