1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Rapid and specific detection of exfoliative toxin (ET)-producing Staphylococcus aureus strains by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for identification of exfoliative toxin genes in a diverse set of 115 clinical S. aureus strains isolated in 14 Czech cities between 1998 and 2004. Fifty-nine wild-type ET-positive isolates of which 40 strains were the causative agents of toxic epidermolysis in neonates were classified into 4 PCR types. The genes coding for ETA, ETB or ETD were not detected in any of non-ET-producing isolates. The PCR method using the multiplex and specific primer set was shown to be reliable in rapid identification of the exfoliative toxin producing S. aureus and can be used as a convenient tool for hospital epidermolytic infection control.
