The relationship between the exposure to healthcare settings and colonization with methicillin-resistant
Article in Germs, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
introductionMedical students who engage in clinical learning in healthcare settings can be potential methicillin-resistant
methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study having a follow-up approach. Three batches of medical students who were studying at the Faculty of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka (1
resultsThe percentage of MRSA colonization was 6.36% (7/110) and 49.57% (59/119) before clinical exposure and after 2.5 years of exposure, respectively (p<0.012). The percentage of correct responses obtained by the students for the questionnaire about infection control was 28% and 66.9% one week before the exposure to the hospitals and one year after the exposure to the hospitals, consecutively.
conclusionsMRSA carriage was significantly associated with the time duration of the clinical training of the medical students. The knowledge of students about infection control was significantly inadequate one week before the hospital exposure and they have gained the knowledge only after being exposed to the hospitals.
