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

Macrococcus spp. are Gram-positive cocci that belong to the Staphylococcaceae family; they are closely related to staphylococci, but, unlike staphylococci, they are not considered as human pathogens. Macrococcus spp. are recognized as relevant veterinary pathogens, and their presence has been reported in food products of animal origin. Macrococcus caseolyticus, the most studied species of the Macrococcus genus, is associated with the development of aroma and flavor in fermented foods and is, thus, used as starter cultures in fermentations. However, certain important issues regarding food safety must be taken into account when employing these microorganisms in fermentations. Recent studies have reported the presence of genes associated with resistance to methicillin and other antibiotics in M. caseolyticus. This can be harmful to human health as these genes can be transferred to other bacteria present in the food, mainly staphylococcal species. This work, therefore, aims to highlight the importance of a more critical view on the presence of macrococci in foods and the possible indirect risks to human health.
