Effect of different incubation atmospheres on the production of biofilm in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) grown in nutrient-limited medium.
Article in Current microbiology, 2008. 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
Today, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a feared cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. These organisms can gain increased resistance to antimicrobial agents through biofilm formation, which appears to be a bacterial survival strategy. MRSA isolates obtained from patients were cultured in nutrient-limited medium supplemented with 0.2% glucose in aerobic, anaerobic, and CO(2) incubation atmospheres. Biofilm formation was quantified by the microtiter plate test. MRSA strains showed significantly lower biofilm production when grown in an aerobic atmosphere compared to that exhibited in CO(2)-rich environments. Gaseous conditions and growth in a nutritionally limited medium can profoundly influence the amount of biofilm formation in MRSA. This should be considered in any in vitro study of in vivo behavior.
