Rapid diagnostics for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: current status.
Review in Molecular diagnosis & therapy, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant cause of healthcare- and community-associated infections, and its prevalence continues to increase. These infections are associated with morbidity and excessive mortality compared with infections caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). Numerous studies have cited the increased healthcare costs associated with MRSA infections. Infection control guidelines that combine active surveillance with aggressive patient management, such as patient isolation, decontamination, and other strategies, have been shown to reduce transmission and subsequent infections. The availability of rapid molecular diagnostics has strengthened infection control programs by providing results in hours rather than days, as the time required for culture-based methods. This review summarizes the current status of rapid diagnostic methods available for MRSA detection from nasal surveillance specimens, and assays available for rapid identification of MRSA from positive blood cultures containing Gram-positive cocci in clusters. Both amplification- and probe-based assays are highlighted and discussed in detail. Future technological advances are likely to see real-time assays that combine multiple gene targets for assessment of microbial identification, virulence detection, and mechanisms of resistance beyond mecA.
