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
Resistance to linezolid has been associated with a G2576T mutation in the 23 S rRNA gene. Clinical isolates of linezolid-sensitive and linezolid-resistant vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium of a liver transplant patient have been analysed for the G2576T mutation by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), conventional sequencing and pyrosequencing. A clear association between the number of mutated 23 S rRNA genes and the level of linezolid resistance has been demonstrated. Linezolid susceptibility re-emerged after cessation of linezolid therapy; however, the re-initiation of linezolid therapy resulted in the re-emergence of linezolid-resistant strains. Pyrosequencing rapidly detected the number of mutated alleles and is superior to conventional PCR-RFLP for the detection of heterozygous mutations.
