DNA fingerprinting of isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from newborns and their contacts.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 a study on the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in newborns, mothers, and hospital staff, S. aureus was isolated from 536 of 1,945 specimens. Ninety-three isolates of S. aureus from the three groups of individuals were included in a study to evaluate the potential of DNA fingerprinting for strain differentiation. The 93 isolates were also phage typed and their plasmid profiles were analyzed. Cleavage of DNA with BamHI resulted in 13 different DNA restriction endonuclease band patterns (DNA REBPs), one of which consisted of eight isolates whose DNA was not cleaved with BamHI. The DNAs from these eight isolates were easily cleaved with HindIII. The different DNA REBPs were stable both during in vitro and in vivo growth and allowed strain differentiation within phage groups or types. We could not show any strong association between DNA REBP classes, phage types or groups, and plasmid profiles. Of the 93 isolates, 27 (29.0%) could not be phage typed and 12 (12.9%) lacked plasmids. We therefore conclude that DNA fingerprinting is a powerful tool, in addition to phage typing and plasmid profile analysis, for strain differentiation of S. aureus.
