Infant colonization by Staphylococcus aureus: role of maternal carriage.

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
Infant colonization by Staphylococcus aureus has not been adequately investigated. In this study, we aimed to define determinants associated with the carriage of S. aureus in early infancy. Serial nasal swabs were collected from 128 infants and their mothers at months 0, 6, and 12 postpartum. S. aureus isolates were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), spa typing, and the presence of chromosomal mecA and of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes. S. aureus was isolated in 17.7% and 15.7% of swabs from infants and mothers, respectively. Carriage rates were higher in infants with carrier mothers, non-smoking mothers, and many siblings. Persistent carriage rates were higher in infants with carrier or non-smoking mothers. S. aureus typing revealed identical strains in 10/15 investigated infant-mother pairs. Among 19 investigated S. aureus isolates from infants, ten harbored mecA and two harbored PVL genes, and these determinants were concomitantly present in isolates from mothers. Resistance to methicillin was 43.6% among all isolates from infants. In conclusion, isolates from infants were commonly identical to isolates from their mothers, pointing to a principal role of maternal carriage in S. aureus colonization in infants.
