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

backgroundIncreased rates of

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant

methodsData of culture-proven

resultsMRSA isolates were identified in 147 (17%) of 890 patients with no different ratio in adults or children. A higher proportion of MRSA in hospital-acquired settings was observed (27% vs. 12%;

conclusionThe prevalence of MRSA in our facility seemed to be comparatively low. Vancomycin is still an appropriate option for MRSA coverage since all
