Distribution of tsst-1 and mecA Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From Clinical Specimens.
Article in Jundishapur journal of microbiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundStaphylococcus aureus is a harmful pathogen known to express numerous virulence factors and cause severe infections. High levels of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains are one of the important healthcare problems because of the inefficient treatment of these infections.
objectivesThe purpose of the current study is to evaluate the incidence of the toxic shock syndrome toxin (tsst-1) gene and its association with the prevalence of the mecA gene and drug resistance. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe presence of the tsst-1 and mecA genes was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) among S. aureus isolated from 197 clinical samples. In addition, resistance tests to 12 antibiotics were carried out by the disc diffusion method.
resultsAmong the 197 isolates, 134 (68%) contained the tsst-1 genes and 172 (87.3%) contained the mecA genes. The prevalence of both genes was higher among male cases and samples purified from wounds and blood. We found no significant correlation between the presences of the two mentioned genes within isolates. The highest resistance we observed among our samples was to penicillin. None of isolates was resistant to vancomycin or linezolid. A significant correlation was observed between the presence of the mecA gene and resistance to oxacillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, cotrimoxazole, clindamycin, cephazolin and the multi-drug resistant property, which is resistance to more than three antibiotics (P < 0.05).
conclusionsOur outcomes showed elevated incidences of tsst-1 positive and MRSA strains with higher rates of antibiotic resistance. The conflict between our findings and other records may be due to differences in geographic regions.
