High Prevalence of Exfoliative Toxins Among Carrier Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from Healthy Individuals from Various Communities in Chennai, South India.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2013. 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
Staphylococcus aureus causes infections both in community and hospital settings, nasal carriage is the important source of these infections. A total of 103 carrier isolates of S. aureus from 352 asymptomatic individuals were screened for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and exfoliative toxins (A, B and D) by two sets of multiplex PCRs. The overall nasal carriage of MRSA was found to be 13/352 (3.7 %), of which 4 were found to be positive for Panton valentine leucocidin (PVL). Twelve (11.65 %) strains were found to carry exfoliative toxins and belonged to one of the following spa types t159, t209 and t1515. High prevalence of exfoliative toxins, pvl and MRSA pose a major threat to public health, since the isolates were from the healthy in various community settings.
