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.

Abstract

Bloodstream infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (BSI) are serious infections both in hospitals and in the community, possibly leading to infective endocarditis (IE). The use of glycopeptides has been recently challenged by various forms of low-level resistance. This study evaluated the distribution of MSSA and MRSA isolates from BSI and IE in 4 Italian hospitals, their antibiotic susceptibility--focusing on the emergence of hVISA--and genotypic relationships. Our results demonstrate that the epidemiology of MRSA is changing versus different STs possessing features between community-acquired (CA)- and hospital-acquired (HA)-MRSA groups; furthermore, different MSSA isolated from BSI and IE were found, with the same backgrounds of the Italian CA-MRSA. The hVISA phenotype was very frequent (19.5%) and occurred more frequently in isolates from IE and in both the MSSA and MRSA strains. As expected, hVISA were detected in MRSA with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1-2 mg/l, frequently associated with the major SCCmec I and II nosocomial clones; this phenotype was also detected in some MSSA strains. The few cases of MR-hVISA infections evaluated in our study demonstrated that 5 out of 9 patients (55%) receiving a glycopeptide, died. Future studies are required to validate these findings in terms of clinical impact.
