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

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing serious health implications in susceptible individuals once it invades the host's protective barriers. Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) often receives lesser attention although it has been frequently associated with serious infections in human. We aim to investigate the genomic features of a highly virulent yet pan susceptible MSSA strain (coded as HS-MSSA) which caused concurrent bacteraemia in a dengue patient, ultimately resulted in sepsis death of the patient. Whole genome sequence analysis was performed. The draft genome of HS-MSSA is approximately 2.78 Mb (GC content = 32.7%) comprising of 2637 predicted coding sequences. In silico genotyping of the HS-MSSA strain revealed a novel combined genotype (t091/ST2990). The HS-MSSA carries a SaPIn1-like pathogenicity island that harbours the staphylococcal enterotoxin and enterotoxin-like genes (sec3 and selL). The strain-specific β-lactamase (blaZ)-bearing plasmid region was identified in HS-MSSA. Core genome phylogeny showed that the HS-MSSA strain shared a common ancestry with the European MRSA clone. We report herein the genomic features of an MSSA lineage with novel genotype previously not reported elsewhere.
