Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and its relationship with skin and soft tissue infection in New Zealand children.
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.
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
New Zealand children suffer from high rates of skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). Staphylococcus aureus colonisation is known to increase the risk of nosocomial infection. We aimed to determine whether S. aureus colonisation also increased the risk of community-onset SSTI. This study, performed within the Growing Up in New Zealand cohort, used interview and administrative data, and bacterial culture results from the nose, throat, and skin swabs collected at 4½ years of age. Multivariable log-binomial regression was used to derive adjusted risk ratios. S. aureus was isolated from 2225/5126 (43.4%) children. SSTI affected 1509/5126 (29.4%) children before age five. S. aureus colonisation at any site was associated with SSTI (aRR = 1.09, 95%CI 1.01-1.19), particularly in the year prior to swab collection (aRR = 1.18, 95%CI 1.02-1.37). The strongest association was between skin colonisation and SSTI within the year prior to swab collection (aRR = 1.47, 95%CI 1.14-1.84). Socioeconomic and ethnic variables remained independent determinants of SSTI. S. aureus colonisation was associated with an increased risk of community-onset SSTI. Socioeconomic and ethnic factors and eczema had independent effects on SSTI risk. Interventions which reduce the prevalence of S. aureus colonisation may be expected to reduce the incidence of community-onset SSTI.
