Methicillin-resistant
Article in Heliyon, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesInfections caused by methicillin-resistant
methodsAn institution based cross-sectional study was conducted at the JUMC from May to August; 2016. A total of 371 participants were systematically selected. Demographic data was collected using pre-designed questionnaire. Nasal swabs were collected following standard microbiological methods. MRSA was detected using cefoxitin (30μg) disc (Oxoid, UK); and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed by disc diffusion method.
resultsA total of 371 students were included. Of these, 84.9% (315/371) were males. The overall prevalence of nasal carriage of
conclusionThe prevalence of nasal carriage of MRSA was high. Longer stay in hospital environment was associated with the acquisition of MRSA. These findings suggest that infection control efforts focusing the performance of antimicrobial stewardship could have a significant impact on MRSA incidence in this setting.
