Genome Evolution of Invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the Americas.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Staphylococcus aureus causes a variety of debilitating and life-threatening diseases, and thus remains a challenging global health threat. S. aureus is remarkably diverse, yet only a minority of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clones have caused pandemic proportions of diseases. The genetic drivers of the successful dissemination of some clones across wide geographical expanses remain poorly understood. We analyzed 386 recently published MRSA genomes from bloodstream infections sampled in North, Central, and South America from 2011 to 2018. Here, we show that MRSA-associated bloodstream infections were attributable to two genetically distinct lineages. One lineage consisted almost exclusively of sequence type (ST) 8, which emerged in 1964. A second lineage emerged in 1986 and consisted of STs 5, 105, and 231. The two lineages have simultaneously disseminated across geographically distant sites. Sublineages rapidly diverged within locations in the early 2000s. Their diversification was associated with independent acquisitions of unique variants of the mobile
