Comparison of Capsular Typing of Staphylococcus aureus with Bacteriophage Typing: A Study in Gulbarga, India.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is important both as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen causing various degrees of infections. Typing S. aureus has been a question that is still being addressed. Bacteriophage typing is still used as a golden standard for typing though molecular methods are investigated. In developing countries where neither molecular typing nor the bacteriophage typing methods can be routinely used, the recently developed capsular typing method can be considered as screening method. We compared capsular typing with bacteriophage typing of the strains isolated in Gulbarga, India. We observed that the typeability of capsular typing was significantly higher (96%) among the phage typed strains, and the predominant capsular type in the region was type-8. The data so generated can be used to group S. aureus based on capsules both as a screening prior to bacteriophage typing, and to identify capsular candidate for developing prophylactic and therapeutic alternatives.
