1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To improve the clinical outcome of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia, the early selection of appropriate antibiotic treatment is crucial. Molecular diagnostics represents an attractive approach for the rapid identification of S. aureus and the determination of its methicillin (meticillin) resistance. In direct comparison to other molecular assays (sa442 and mecA real-time PCRs) and standard laboratory procedures, we evaluated the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay for its use in the detection of S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) from spiked blood culture bottles (n = 134). In the case of detecting S. aureus (n = 90; for methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, n = 45; for MRSA, n = 45), the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay had a sensitivity and a specificity of 100% each (95% confidence intervals [CIs], 96.0 to 100% and 82.4 to 100%, respectively). For MRSA (n = 45), the test was 95.6% (95% CI, 84.9 to 99.5%) sensitive and 95.3% (95% CI, 86.9 to 99.0%) specific. Overall, five discrepant results arose with this assay due to the presence of methicillin-susceptible, revertant MRSA strains (3/45) and MRSA strains that were not detected by the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay (2/45). Compared to other real-time PCR-based molecular approaches and to conventional standard laboratory methods, the BD GeneOhm StaphSR turned out to be an appropriate diagnostic tool for a rapid (approximately 1.5 h), preliminary identification of S. aureus and MRSA from blood cultures.
