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

Three commercial antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods were compared to broth microdilution for testing of Staphylococcus aureus and enterococci against vancomycin, daptomycin, and linezolid. Despite high levels of categorical agreement and essential agreement, vancomycin MICs determined by MicroScan were often 1 log2 concentration higher and MICs determined by Phoenix 1 log2 concentration lower. Daptomycin MICs were 1 to 2 log2 concentrations higher by all AST methods, except Etest, potentially impacting definitive antimicrobial therapy for bloodstream infections due to these organisms.
