Treatment of orthopedic infections caused by resistant staphylococci.
Trial report in Folia microbiologica, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
During 1999-2005 we treated 15 patients with linezolid for relevant infections of locomotion apparatus (7 cases with endoprosthesis infection, 5x osteomyelitis and 3x another infection). With the exception of one case the antibiotic therapy was always combined with appropriate surgical intervention. Average period of linezolid administration was 26 d; linezolid was applied from the beginning intravenously on average for 10 d, and then orally for 16 d (average). There were no undesirable effects in the file. Success rate reached 86.6%. MRSA strains were proved by standard methods: growth on Mueller-Hinton agar with increased concentration of NaCl and 2 mg/L of oxacilline, and measuring inhibitory zones around cephoxitine disk. The sensitivity to other antibiotics was specified by disk-diffusion test; that to linezolid was verified by E-test. Linezolid represents a medical reserve for the treatment of multiresistant Gram-positive infections or for emergencies, when allergy onset, high toxicity risk, intolerance, etc. do not allow to use other, in vitro effective, antibiotics.
