Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

introduction

methodsfrom January 2014 to November 2016, a total of 250 non repeated strains were isolated from various clinical specimens. Isolates and antibiotic susceptibility profiles were identified through standard microbiological techniques.

resultsmethicillin-resistant

conclusionour results show that the carriage of acquired MRSA infections predominates in this population. Despite the noticeable multiresistance of MRSA strains to antibiotics, rifampicin remains the drugs of choice for the therapy of acquired MRSA infections in this setting. In order to slow down antimicrobial resistance, surveillance studies for antimicrobial susceptibility remains essential to identify resistance and inform policy on resistance.
