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

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes various infections in humans and domestic animals. In China, S. aureus is the most common Gram-positive pathogen that causes clinical infections. However, there are few comprehensive genome-based molecular epidemiology studies to investigate the genotypic background of the major S. aureus clones that are epidemic in China. Here, four S. aureus isolates that were recovered from hospital personnel were sequenced. In combination with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of 328 S. aureus strains as references, we performed a comprehensive molecular epidemiology study to reveal the molecular epidemic characterization of S. aureus that is epidemic in China. It was found that 332 S. aureus isolates were phylogenetically categorized into 4 major epidemic groups with different epidemiology phenotypes. Each group has exclusive features in virulence genotypic profiles, antimicrobial resistance genotypic profiles, core and pangenome features representing the differences involved in genetic features, evolutionary processes, and potential future evolutionary directions. Moreover, a comparative core genome analysis of 332 S. aureus isolates indicated several key genes that contributed to differences in molecular epidemic characterization and promoted the adaptive evolutionary process of each group. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of molecular epidemiological characteristics and adaptive evolutionary directions of major S. aureus clones that are epidemic in China.
