Formal infectious diseases consultation is associated with decreased mortality in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia.

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
To determine the impact of infectious diseases consultation (IDC) in Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. All MRSA bacteraemia and a random subset of MSSA bacteraemia were retrospectively analysed. Out of 599 SAB episodes, 162 (27%) were followed by an IDC. Patients with IDC were younger and more frequently intravenous drug users, but fewer resided in a long-term care facility or were indigenous. Hospital length of stay was longer (29.5 vs 17 days, p < 0.001), and endocarditis (19.1% vs 7.3%, p < 0.001) and metastatic seeding (22.2% vs 10.1%, p < 0.001) were more frequent in the IDC group; however, SAPS II scores were lower in the IDC group (27 vs 37, p < 0.001). ICU admission rates in the two groups were similar. The isolate tested susceptible to empirical therapy more frequently in the IDC group (88.9% vs 78.0%, p = 0.003). Seven-day (3.1 vs 16.5%), 30-day (8.0% vs 27.0%) and 1-year mortality (22.2% vs 44.9%) were all lower in the IDC group (all p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that effective initial therapy was the only variable associated with the protective effect of IDC. In patients with SAB, all-cause mortality was significantly lower in patients who had an IDC, because of the higher proportion of patients receiving effective initial antibiotics.
