Detection of capsular genotypes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and clonal distribution of the cap5 and cap8 genes in clinical isolates.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Up until now, the capsular polysaccharides of Staphylococcus aureus have been classified into 11 types, of which only 2 types 5 and 8; (encoded by the genes cap5 and cap8, respectively) are present in 80-90% of clinically significant strains. The aim of the present study was to detect the capsular genotypes of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates and determined their clonal distribution. A total of 262 MRSA clinical isolates from different hospitals in Mexico were analyzed by PCR to determine the genetic characteristics of their capsule expression. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing were used to characterize the isolates. The analysis of the capsular genotypes among MRSA isolates showed that 245 isolates (93.5%) contained the cap5 gene, and that the remaining 17 (6.5%) encoded the cap8 gene. The MRSA isolates were grouped into four clonal groups. The identification of the capsular genotypes of clinical isolates of MRSA is important information because potential vaccine formulations against S. aureus involve capsular polysaccharides.
