Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in health-care workers with cystic fibrosis in Sydney.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal inherited disorder in Australia, is associated with increased respiratory tract colonization/infection. Given that many adults with CF work as health-care workers (HCW), which has been associated with an increased risk of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization/infection, we examined these risks in 252 adults with CF at our centre between 2001-2015. Demographic and clinical characteristics, including pathogens, were compared for HCW and non-HCW groups. MRSA colonization/infection was found in 20 subjects, comprising 2/19 HCW, and 18/233 non-HCW (
