Unexpected Multidrug Resistance of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Urine Samples: A Single-Center Study.
Article in Korean journal of urology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeInfections of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are becoming an increasingly concerning clinical problem. The aim of this study was to assess the development of MRSA in urine cultures in a major public university-affiliated hospital and the therapeutical and hygiene-related possibilities for reducing resistance. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 243 samples from patients diagnosed with MRSA infection over a period of 6 years. An agar diffusion test measured the effects of antimicrobial agents against bacteria grown in culture. The analyses were based on the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.
resultsA regression analysis was performed, which showed 100% resistance to the following antibiotics throughout the entire testing period: carbapenem, cephalosporin (1st-4th generation), penicillin G, aminopenicillin, β-lactamase, and isoxazolyl penicillin. However, a significant decrease in resistance was found for amikacin, gentamicin, clindamycin, levofloxacin, erythromycin, and mupirocin.
conclusionsMRSA showed a decreasing trend of antimicrobial resistance, except against carbapenem, cephalosporin (1st-4th generation), penicillin G, aminopenicillin, β-lactamase, and isoxazolyl penicillin, for which complete resistance was observed.
