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

The aim of this study was to characterize the phenotypes and genotypes of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from raw bovine milk in Hokkaido, Japan. S. aureus isolates were identified in 135 of 436 milk samples from cows with and without signs of mastitis from three farms in Hokkaido. These clinical isolates were characterized for antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, molecular typing using phage-open-reading frame typing (POT), coagulase gene type, virulence genes, and biofilm-associated genes and were evaluated for biofilm-forming ability. Most isolates were susceptible to the antimicrobial agents tested. The highest rate of resistance was to ampicillin. Molecular typing of all S. aureus isolates indicated a predominance of coagulase type VI and 0-17-34 POT type, and virulence genes were highly prevalent in the isolates from all farms. Moreover, a high percentage of the 0-17-34 POT type isolates showed extensive formation of biofilm. These findings will help veterinarians and farmers to understand the epidemiology of S. aureus so that they can monitor the transmission and spread of this pathogen and control it more effectively.
