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

The present study demonstrates isolation and identification of methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in the samples collected from burn patients. About 106 swab samples were collected from burn patients of >40% burn injury and were subjected to isolation using nutrient agar followed by screening using Me Re Sa selective medium agar. A total of 10 isolates with identity to S. aureus were obtained and further authenticated using Polymerase Chain Reaction and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry analysis. Presence of mec A gene and the peak pattern observations suggested seven of the 10 isolates are MRSA. Thus, the present study emphasizes the process of identification of MRSA using two different bio-analytical techniques, which authenticate the presence of MRSA.
