Gender affects prognosis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia differently depending on the severity of underlying disease.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We aimed to elucidate the potential impact of gender on prognosis of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). We analyzed SAB cases prospectively collected over an 8-year period at 11 hospitals in Korea. SAB-related mortality was pre-defined as a death within 30 days from the onset of SAB without other apparent cause of death. The effect of gender on SAB-related mortality was examined in the entire cohort and in subgroups stratified according to methicillin resistance and Charlson's comorbidity-weighted index (CCWI) score. Those factors independently associated to SAB-related mortality were explored. Among 1974 eligible cases, SAB-related mortality rates in male and female were 21.2% (259/1224) and 21.9% (164/750), respectively (P = 0.786). The SAB-related mortality rate was independently higher in male than that in female in CCWI score ≤ 3 methicillin-resistant SAB (MRSAB) group (15.9 vs. 6.2%; aOR 3.65, 95% CI 1.46-9.13; P = 0.006) while the association tended to be inverse when CCWI score rises. Interaction between CCWI score and gender to MRSAB-related mortality was significant in multivariate analysis (aOR 0.85, 95% CI 0.74-0.96; P = 0.011). There was no significant interaction between gender and CCWI in entire SAB or methicillin-susceptible SAB cohorts. Gender may affect clinical outcomes of MRSAB differently depending on the severity of underlying disease.
