Prevalence and characteristics of methicillin-resistant

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
backgroundTo implement effective precautions to avoid methicillin-resistant
methodsSurveillance cultures of 1274 residents living in a community were performed in two different areas, Kochi and Osaka prefectures of Japan. All isolated MRSA strains were evaluated using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to clarify the transmission routes of MRSA. The results were compared with those of inpatients. Moreover, written questionnaires and medical records were analyzed.
resultsAnalysis of surveillance cultures from residents living in the community in Japan revealed an MRSA colonization rate of 0.94%. The proportion of MRSA to
