MRSA Septicemia With Septic Arthritis and Prostatic, Intraretinal, Periapical, and Lung Abscesses.
Article in WMJ : official publication of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionMethicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia is a life-threatening illness and a major global health care problem. It can cause metastatic and complicated infections. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old man with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with altered mental status after a fall. He was found to have a hip fracture, diabetic ketoacidosis, and MRSA bacteremia. This was complicated by septic knee arthritis, prostatic abscess, intraretinal abscess, periapical abscesses, and pulmonary abscesses. He was treated with intravenous vancomycin and oral linezolid and eventually recovered. DISCUSSION: Severe metastatic MRSA infection was likely due, in part, to the patient's uncontrolled diabetes, as he has no underlying immunodeficiency and was HIV negative. Prostatic abscesses are a relatively rare occurrence that typically develop in immunocompromised patients.
conclusionThis case is an interesting confluence of sequelae of MRSA bacteremia and reinforces the necessity for clinicians to be diligent when evaluating a patient with a suspected prostatic abscess.
