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

backgroundPrevious reports suggested that US methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain epidemiology has changed since the rise of USA300 MRSA. We describe invasive MRSA trends by strain type.

methodsData came from 5 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infections Program sites conducting population-based surveillance and collecting isolates for invasive MRSA (ie, from normally sterile body sites), 2005-2013. MRSA bloodstream infection (BSI) incidence per 100 000 population was stratified by strain type and epidemiologic classification of healthcare exposures. Invasive USA100 vs USA300 case characteristics from 2013 were compared through logistic regression.

resultsFrom 2005 to 2013, USA100 incidence decreased most notably for hospital-onset (6.1 vs 0.9/100 000 persons, P < .0001) and healthcare-associated, community-onset (10.7 vs 4.9/100 000 persons, P < .0001) BSIs. USA300 incidence for hospital-onset BSIs also decreased (1.5 vs 0.6/100 000 persons, P < .0001). However, USA300 incidence did not significantly change for healthcare-associated, community-onset (3.9 vs 3.3/100 000 persons, P = .05) or community-associated BSIs (2.5 vs 2.4/100 000 persons, P = .19). Invasive MRSA was less likely to be USA300 in patients who were older (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.97 per year [95% confidence interval {CI}, .96-.98]), previously hospitalized (aOR, 0.36 [95% CI, .24-.54]), or had central lines (aOR, 0.44 [95% CI, .27-.74]), and associated with USA300 in people who inject drugs (aOR, 4.58 [95% CI, 1.16-17.95]).

conclusionsMost of the decline in MRSA BSIs was from decreases in USA100 BSI incidence. Prevention of USA300 MRSA BSIs in the community will be needed to further reduce burden from MRSA BSIs.
