Carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and their SCCmec types in a long-term-care facility.

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
Following an outbreak caused by staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type V methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a point-prevalence survey of the nasal carriage of staphylococci was conducted in a long-term-care facility in northern Finland in 2004. The focus was directed at methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CNS) and their SCCmec elements. A nasal swab was taken from 76 of the 80 residents 6 months after the onset of the outbreak. Staphylococcal isolates were identified by conventional methods and the GenoType Staphylococcus test, and their SCCmec elements were analyzed. Of the 76 individuals, 24 (32%) carried S. aureus and 67 (88%) CNS in their nostrils. Of the CNS carriers, 41 (61%) had at least one mecA-positive MR-CNS, and two individuals (3%) had both MRSA and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). Among the 61 MR-CNS isolates identified, 49 (80%) were MRSE. The distribution of the SCCmec types was diverse: 20 (33%) were of type IV, 11 (18%) of type V, 4 (6%) of type I or IA, 3 (4%) of type II, and 23 (38%) of new types (with six different combinations of ccr and other mec genes or only mecA). Both of the individuals with MRSA and MRSE shared SCCmec type V among their isolates. Nasal MR-CNS carriage was common among the residents of this long-term-care facility. A variety of SCCmec types, including many new types, were identified among the MR-CNS strains. The horizontal transfer of SCCmec elements is speculated based on the sharing of SCCmec type V between MRSA and MRSE.
