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

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is one of the most frequent severe bacterial infections worldwide, with an associated mortality of about 20-40% in developed countries. In 2013, we noted an increase in this infection in the teaching hospital in Grenoble, France, compared to 2012. The mean incidence of S. aureus bacteremia was 0.28 per 1,000 patient-days in 2012 and 0.35 per 1,000 patient-days in 2013. This trend was confirmed in 2014 (0.35 per 1,000 patient-days). In the present work we aimed to study the population of patients presenting with S. aureus bacteremia in 2013 and to genotype the corresponding S. aureus strains in order to identify a successful and/or virulent genotype to design a specific infection control program. One hundred ninety-one S. aureus isolates (including 9 methicillin-resistant) out of 199 corresponding cases of bacteremia were characterized with the spa typing method. Among 108 spa types, t571, t002, t008 and t084 were the most prevalent. Although not widely prevalent, t571 was the most frequently identified clone (8.4% of all isolates). Spa type t571 has been described in previous studies as belonging to the clonal complex CC398, which is consistent with the recent emergence of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus CC398 reported in blood cultures in Europe.
