Rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from screening enrichment broths by real-time PCR.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The aim of this study was to evaluate real-time PCR (LightCycler) kits for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in enrichment broth using 200 sets of patient screening swab samples. One hundred sets were processed using a lysostaphin/lysozyme extraction method and a further 100 were tested using a column extraction kit. The PCR kits with lysostaphin/lysozyme lysis showed 95.7% sensitivity, 90.8% specificity, and negative and positive predictive values of 98.6% and 75.9%, respectively, compared with 88%, 95.9%, 84.6% and 95.9%, respectively, with the column extraction kit.
