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

A patient developed a daptomycin-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, despite being daptomycin-naïve, in the setting of persistent bacteraemia secondary to vertebral osteomyelitis. Modified population analysis profiling of sequential MRSA blood culture isolates revealed transition from a vancomycin-susceptible phenotype to a vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) phenotype through a vancomycin-heteroresistant S. aureus (hVISA) intermediary. Increased cell wall thickening, determined by transmission electron microscopy, correlated with the emergence of daptomycin resistance. This case supports the current hypothesis that MRSA with reduced glycopeptide susceptibility are less susceptible to daptomycin because of a thickened cell wall. This may have significance for the use of daptomycin in salvage therapy. Other predictors of daptomycin resistance include bacteraemic persistence and the presence of high inoculum infections. As resistance may appear de novo and be unstable in vivo, all isolates should have daptomycin susceptibility testing performed. The optimal antibiotic option for salvage therapy of these daptomycin-resistant infections is unknown. However, these findings emphasise the importance of optimising management, including the consideration of early surgical intervention to avoid the emergence of daptomycin resistance, especially in high inoculum infections.
