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

backgroundMethicillin-resistant HYPOTHESIS: The recovery and viability of MRSA will differ between turf infill and turf fibers. STUDY

designDescriptive laboratory study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.

methodsEach of 6 infill types and 3 turf fiber types were inoculated with MRSA, sacrificed over time, and enumerated after bacteria extraction and dilution plating to determine the incubation time at which 50% of inoculated MRSA are recoverable and viable (here termed

resultsOn average, MRSA was available for up to 96 hours on infill (average

conclusionMRSA recovery and viability varied among infill types but not among differing turf blades. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results of this study can inform appropriate athlete and field management practices.
