Platelets Inhibit Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Inducing Hydroxyl Radical-Mediated Apoptosis-Like Cell Death.
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 8 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
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common drug-resistant bacteria and poses a significant threat to human health. Due to the emergence of multidrug resistance, limited drugs are available for the treatment of MRSA infections. In recent years, platelets have been reported to play important roles in inflammation and immune responses, in addition to their functions in blood hemostasis and clotting. We and other researchers have previously reported that platelets can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth. However, it remained unclear whether platelets have the same antibacterial effect on drug-resistant strains. In this study, we hypothesized that platelets may also inhibit the growth of MRSA; the results confirmed that platelets significantly inhibited the growth of MRSA
