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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of self-reported history of physician-diagnosed methicillin-resistant

methodsQuestionnaires were obtained from 312 students attending half (9/18) of US chiropractic campuses. The questionnaire was derived from earlier studies led by Bearman in 2010 and Evans in 2007. Associations were assessed with Fisher exact test. Crude odds ratios were calculated for each of the variables. Two logistic regression models were produced.

resultsAttendance at 1 campus was associated with postmatriculation MRSA SSTI in univariate analysis (

conclusionsFewer than 5 cases of MRSA SSTI were detected overall, revealing a low rate of reported postmatriculation MRSA SSTI among these students. There was a univariate association with postmatriculation MRSA SSTI at 1 chiropractic college.
