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

The interest in livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) strains is increasing due to their wide distribution and transmission even in persons without previous contact with livestock, and these strains pose a public health threat. The aim of the study was the genetic characterization of the whole genome of two epidemiologically unrelated t034 LA-MRSA strains previously isolated from the nasal cavities of a goat and a farmer in Greece. Both strains were assigned to the ST398-Vc-t034 type and they were carrying a single transposon identical to Tn6133. They harbored genes conferring resistance to several antibiotics (aminoglycosides, β-lactams, macrolides, streptogramin B, tetracycline, and trimethoprim), and genes associated with virulence (enterotoxins, γ-hemolysins, and aureolysin). The present study can serve as baseline for further LA-MRSA epidemiological and evolutionary studies in Greece, while awareness and increased surveillance are needed to avoid their spread.
