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

purposeStaphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We sought to re-define the burden, epidemiology and mortality-associated risk factors of SAB in a large Canadian health region.

methodsResidents (> 18 years) experiencing SAB from 2012 to 2014 were assessed. Incidence rates were calculated using civic census results. Factors associated with 30-day mortality were determined through multivariate logistic regression. Incidence and risk factors for SAB were compared to 2000-2006 data.

results780 residents experienced 840 episodes of SAB (MRSA; 20%). Incidence rates increased from 23.5 to 32.0 cases/100,000 from 2012 to 2014; [IRR 1.15 (95% CI 1.07-1.23); p < 0.001]. Compared to a decade ago, incidence of SAB has increased [IRR 1.28 (95% CI 1.21-1.36); p < 0.001] despite minimal change in nosocomial SAB. MRSA proportion did not change through the study (p = 0.3), but did increase relative to a decade ago (20.0% vs 11.0%, p < 0.001). Thirty-day mortality rates were 30.6% and 21.3% for MRSA and MSSA, respectively (p = 0.01), similar to rates from 2000 to 2006. Several clinical, demographic, and biochemical factors were independently associated with SAB mortality.

conclusionsSAB is common within our population resulting in significant mortality. Incidence rates of SAB are increasing in our health region; however, 30-day mortality rates remain stable.
