Hospital and provider patient volumes, cesarean section rates, and early postpartum invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2014. 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
objectiveWe sought to examine whether hospital and provider volumes and cesarean section rates influenced early postpartum invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.
methodsWe used data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a representative sample of US community hospitals. Multivariate hierarchical regression models were used to estimate odds ratios adjusted for hospital total discharges, nurse:patient ratio, urbanicity, teaching status, bed size, ownership, and geographic region and patient age, race, expected payer, and comorbidities.
resultsThe total sample size for the hospital analysis was 3,487,350 deliveries, which included 555 cases of MRSA infection. The total sample size for the provider analysis was 1,186,703 deliveries, with 221 cases of MRSA infection. Hospital and provider patient (deliveries) volumes and cesarean section rates were not associated with early postpartum invasive MRSA infection.
conclusionsBarring major bias in our estimates, our results suggest that transmission from providers may not be a predominant route of postpartum MRSA infection in US hospitals.
