Prevalence of the ST239 clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and differences in antimicrobial susceptibilities of ST239 and ST5 clones identified in a Korean hospital.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
A total of 188 nonduplicate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained between 2001 and 2004 in a university hospital in Daegu, Korea, were analyzed for their clonal types by molecular typing techniques, including multilocus sequence typing, spaA typing, staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). They were examined for their antimicrobial susceptibilities. The majority (87%) of MRSA isolates belonged to sequence type 239 (ST239; n = 100; 53%) and ST5 (n = 63, 34%) on the basis of sequence typing. MRSA isolates belonging to ST239 were genotypically homogeneous, while those belonging to ST5 showed variations in spaA type, SCCmec type, and PFGE patterns. The rates of resistance of the MRSA isolates belonging to ST239 to trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, tobramycin, gentamicin, erythromycin, and tetracycline were significantly higher than those of the isolates belonging to ST5 (P < 0.05). This study demonstrated that the ST239 clone, while rarely detected in Korea, was prevalent and that the antimicrobial susceptibility of the ST239 clone was significantly different from that of the ST5 clone.
