First outbreak of PVL-positive nonmultiresistant MRSA in a neonatal ICU in Australia: comparison of MALDI-TOF and SNP-plus-binary gene typing.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The purpose of this brief report is to describe the first outbreak of a community-associated nonmultiresistant and PVL-positive MRSA strain (CC30) in a neonatal intensive care unit in Australia. The utility of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) for microbial typing is compared with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) plus binary gene analysis. The composite correlation index analysis of the MALDI-TOF-MS data demonstrated the similar inter-strain relatedness found with the SNP-plus-binary gene typing used to confirm the outbreak. The evolving spread of MRSA emphasizes the importance of surveillance, infection control vigilance and the ongoing investigation of rapid typing methods for MRSA.
