Rapid differentiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus from blood cultures by use of a direct cefoxitin disk diffusion test.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A total of 276 blood culture bottles with Staphylococcus aureus were tested by direct cefoxitin disk diffusion testing; 105 (38.1%) had zone sizes of </=17 mm (all 105 had methicillin-resistant S. aureus [MRSA]), 18 (6.5%) had zone sizes that measured 18 mm (17 had MRSA and 1 had methicillin-susceptible S. aureus [MSSA]), 8 (2.9%) had zone sizes that measured 19 mm (6 had MRSA and 2 had MSSA), 8 (2.9%) had zone sizes that measured 20 mm (6 had MRSA and 2 had MSSA), and 137 (49.6%) had zone sizes of >/=21 mm (all 137 had MSSA). Detection of MRSA/MSSA in blood cultures could be reported 10 to 24 h earlier for 88% of cultures with total accuracy.
