Molecular characterization of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium isolates from mainland China.

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
Little is known about vancomycin-resistant enterococci in China. Thirteen pulsed-field gel electrophoresis-confirmed heterogeneous VanA-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) isolates were obtained from five Chinese hospitals from 2001 to 2005. The isolates were typed by multilocus sequence typing into nine different sequence types (STs), including five new STs (ST18, ST25, ST78, ST203, ST320, ST321, ST322, ST323, and ST335). Vancomycin resistance in each isolate was encoded on conjugative plasmids; two of the plasmids, pZB18 (67 kbp) and pZB22 (200 kbp), were highly conjugative and were able to transfer at high frequencies of around 10(-4) and 10(-7) per donor cell in broth mating, respectively. None of the plasmids identified in these isolates carried traA, which is usually conserved in the pMG1-like highly conjugative plasmid for E. faecium, implying that pZB18 and pZB22 were novel types of a highly conjugative plasmid in enterococci. Thirteen Tn1546-like elements encoding VanA-type VRE on the conjugative plasmids were classified into six types (types I to VI), and most of them contained both IS1216V and IS1542 insertions. The isolates carrying the type II element were predominant. The six type elements were different from that of a VanA-type Enterococcus faecalis strain isolated from Chinese chicken meat. The results suggested that the disseminations of VRE in these areas were by Tn1546-like elements being acquired by the conjugative plasmids and transferred among E. faecium strains.
