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

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) has emerged in a wide variety of animal species, including poultry. The objective of this study was to evaluate three different chromogenic media for MRSA clonal complex (CC) 398 detection in broilers. On three Belgian poultry farms, 50 broiler chickens were sampled per farm from both nose shell and cloaca. All swab specimens were enriched and inoculated the following day on three chromogenic media: chromID MRSA (bioMérieux), Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar (Oxoid) and MRSASelect (Bio-Rad). ChromID had the highest isolation rates, yet, Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar demonstrated the highest relative sensitivity, while MRSASelect and Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar showed the highest relative specificity. A subset of MRSA isolates was confirmed to be CC398 by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting sau1-hsdS1. In conclusion, Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar outperformed MRSASelect and chromID MRSA for the detection of MRSA in broilers.
