Application of a MALDI-TOF analysis platform (ClinProTools) for rapid and preliminary report of MRSA sequence types in Taiwan.
Article in PeerJ, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe accurate and rapid preliminarily identification of the types of methicillin-resistant
methodsThe mass spectra of 306 MRSA isolates were obtained from multiple reference hospitals in Taiwan. The multilocus sequence types (MLST) of the isolates were determined. The spectra were analyzed for the selection of characteristic peaks by using the ClinProTools software. Furthermore, various machine learning (ML) algorithms were used to generate binary and multiclass models for classifying the major MLST types (ST5, ST59, and ST239) of MRSA.
resultsA total of 10 peaks with the highest discriminatory power (
conclusionsA combination of MALDI-TOF MS analysis and ML models is a potentially accurate, objective, and efficient tool for infection control and outbreak investigation.
