Epidemiology and typing of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from bloodstream infections.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We carried out an epidemiological study covering 2,365,067 patient days of hospitalization between 2000 and 2003. During this time, 413 Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections occurred. This corresponds to 15% of the 2,676 bloodstream infections observed during this period in the 31 hospitals in our region of France, which has 2.5 million inhabitants. The incidence of nosocomial S. aureus bloodstream infections was 0.11 per 1,000 days of hospitalization. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, of which 13% were nonmultiresistant MRSA (NORSA), was 33%, and this percentage was stable over the 4 years. In contrast, the prevalence of S. aureus strains susceptible to methicillin but resistant to quinolones or susceptible to methicillin but multiresistant to antibiotics (EMSSA strains) increased from 4% in 2000 to 23% in 2003. As previously reported, MRSA strains were mostly recovered from nosocomial bloodstream infections, whereas NORSA strains-generally considered to be responsible for community-acquired infections-were always isolated from nosocomial bloodstream infections. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of 109 MRSA strains and 15 EMSSA strains demonstrated clonal diffusion of the three major French MRSA clones and revealed considerable genetic heterogeneity among EMSSA strains. Although no epidemiologically related NORSA strains clustered in particular PFGE groups, the distribution of MRSA strains isolated from bloodstream infections according to the portal of entry (vascular devices, pulmonary, and urinary) was not random for the major PFGE clones, suggesting that each MRSA lineage displays particular virulence features.
