Proximity to animal or crop operations may be associated with de novo daptomycin-non-susceptible Enterococcus infection.
Article in Epidemiology and infection, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Daptomycin-non-susceptible enterococci (DNSE) are emerging pathogens. We have previously reported de novo DNSE isolates in patients with agricultural activities and exposure to livestock. We studied the geographical distribution of the residencies of 34 patients with DNSE infections described in a tertiary centre over a 5-year period in an effort to explore the association between patients' residential locations and agricultural and farm lands. Nine patients had no prior exposure to daptomycin (de novo) and seven of these lived in areas with animal or crop operations. Of those living near an animal or crop operation, the mean number of operations in the proximity of the residence of patients with daptomycin-exposed DNSE was 13.8 (range 1-67) compared to 98.6 (3-529) for those patients with de novo DNSE (P = 0.0486). These data are consistent with previous reports that the transport of daptomycin resistance genes between animals and humans may be a possible mechanism for development of de novo daptomycin resistance in enterococci.
