Clinical evaluation of Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ medium for the detection of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

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
Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ medium was evaluated for its ability to recover methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from nasal samples of pig farmers and their household members. In total, 257 samples were inoculated on Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ medium with and without broth enrichment and on bioMérieux MRSA ID with broth enrichment. A sample was considered to be positive if at least one of the media grew MRSA. The sensitivity of Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ medium without broth enrichment was 63.9%. With broth enrichment, the sensitivity increased to 98.4%. The specificity was 95.4% both with and without broth enrichment. In conclusion, Bio-Rad MRSASelect™ medium as well as MRSA ID medium are reliable methods to detect MRSA carriage when used in combination with broth enrichment. The directly inoculated MRSASelect™ medium was statistically significantly less sensitive than the two media after broth enrichment.
