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

backgroundMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens which can cause a broad spectrum of infections.

objectivesThe current study aimed to describe the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of clonal groups of gentamicin-resistant strains of MRSA isolated from a tertiary care hospital in Tehran, Iran. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 301 S. aureus isolates were collected during January to November 2012. All of the isolates were identified at the species level and typed using the Phene-Plate (PhP) system. The antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the MRSA strains and the presence of different aminoglycoside resistance genes were determined.

resultsOf the 301 S. aureus isolates, 90 (29.9%) strains were confirmed as MRSA, and they showed high resistance to penicillin, ciprofloxacin, kanamycin, tobramycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. On the other hand, 43 of the 90 strains (47.8%) were resistant to gentamicin. Aac (6')-Ie + aph (2''), ant (4')-Ia, aph (3')-IIIa, and ant (6)-Ia were detected in 65.6%, 42.2%, 20%, and 47.8% of the gentamicin-resistant strains, respectively. Diverse PhP types consisting of seven common types and four single types were identified among the strains.

conclusionsOur results illustrated the presence of clonal groups of highly gentamicin-resistant strains of MRSA in hospitals in Tehran. The PhP typing method provided useful information for both clonal dissemination and determining the epidemiological links of the clonal groups of the MRSA strains.
