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

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a serious clinical threat due to innate virulence properties, high infection rates, and the ability to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics, including the lipopeptide daptomycin (DAP). The acquisition of DAP resistance (DAP-R) in MRSA has been linked with several characteristic alterations in the cell envelope. Clinical treatment of DAP-R MRSA infections has generally involved DAP-plus-β-lactam combinations, although definable synergy of such combinations varies in a strain-dependent as well as a β-lactam-dependent manner. We investigated distinct β-lactam-induced cell envelope adaptations of nine clinically derived DAP-susceptible (DAP-S)/DAP-R strain pairs following
