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

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major pathogens causing chronic skin and soft tissue infections. Particularly isolates producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) comprising methicillin-susceptible and community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) have been associated with more aggressive and persistent or relapsing courses. Beyond classical resistance mechanisms, functional resistance as shown by the small colony-variant (SCV) phenotype could be also responsible for treatment failures, despite the administration of antibiotics tested in vitro as susceptible. Also this phenotype has been associated with chronic courses of infections often with multiple exacerbations. Due to their ability to persist intracellularly, SCVs are protected from host defense and antibiotic treatment if only extracellularly active agents are administered. Reduced growth, abnormal colony morphology and changes in the metabolism of the SCVs aggravate drastically their identification, differentiation and susceptibility testing. The diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of PVL-positive and SCV isolates necessitate close collaboration with microbiological and infectious disease specialists.
