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

OBJECTIVE(S): Staphylococcus aureus is both a successful human commensal and a major pathogen. In this study we investigated the genetic diversity of 26 S. aureus isolates recovered from human skin and urinary tract infections. MATERIALS AND

methodsTyping procedure for the studied S. aureus isolates was performed based on PCR amplification of the aroA gene, which encodes the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikmate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) that involves in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the product.

resultsAll S. aureus isolates produced a single PCR amplification product of 1,153 bp. Digestion of the PCR products with the TaqI endonuclease revealed four different aroA gene patterns designated as A, B, N and H according to the nomenclature system of previous studies. In general, 80.77% of the studied isolates displayed type N, 7.69% were type B, 7.69% were type H and 3.85% displayed type A.

conclusionDivergent aroA types were detected among S. aureus isolates from skin and urinary tract infections. The results showed that urinary tract infections were contaminated by S. aureus isolates with identical banding patterns (A), while isolates recovered from skin infections had different aroA types. This study also indicates that aroA genotypes vary not only from region to region, but also in individual hosts within a region.
