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

objectiveTo understand the relationships of

methodsWe analysed SA bloodstream isolates and matching sera in SABP patients by sequencing SA isolates (

resultsSABP patients had higher levels of IgGs against eight virulence factors and anti-alpha toxin (AT) NAbs than uninfected controls. Levels of IgG against AT and IgMs against ClfA, FnbpA and SdrC were higher in clinically cured SABP patients than in clinical failures. Anti-LukAB NAb levels were elevated in all cohorts. Increased odds of cure correlated with higher haemolytic activity of SA strains, longer time between surgery and bacteremia (> 30 days), longer duration of antibiotic therapy, lower acute physiology and total APACHE II scores, lack of persistent fever for > 72 h and higher levels of antibodies against AT (IgG), ClfA (IgM), FnbpA (IgM) and SdrC (IgM). DISCUSSION: Limitations included the cross-sectional observational nature of the study, small sample size and inability to measure antibody levels against all SA virulence factors.

conclusionOur results suggest that SABP patients may benefit from immunotherapy targeting multiple SA antigens.
