MRSA and the environment: implications for comprehensive control measures.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Environmental contamination with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is established soon after colonized or infected patients become resident. There are many studies that detail the mechanisms of spread and environmental survival of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA); this knowledge translates directly into the same findings for MRSA. The potential ubiquity of MRSA in a health-care setting poses challenges for decontamination. Whereas patients and medical staff are important sources for MRSA spread, the environmental burden may contribute significantly in various contexts. Effective control measures must therefore include consideration for MRSA in the environment.
