Genomic analysis of a multidrug methicillin-resistant staphylococcus epidermidis recovered from the urine of a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) with suspected pyelonephritis.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 epidermidis is an emerging pathogen causing infant pyelonephritis. There is a lack of genomic data on Staphylococcus epidermidis as the etiology of pyelonephritis and its resistant determinants. In this study, we have conducted a genomic and microbiologic investigation of an S. epidermidis recovered from the urine of a guinea pig with suspected pyelonephritis in Brazil. The genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform and de novo assembled using SPades. Resistome, virulome, and plasmidome were in silico predicted using bioinformatics tools. Data analysis revealed that S. epidermidis USP-LZB-G06 belonged to sequence type ST332. Strikingly, a broad resistome (antibiotics, hazardous heavy metals, and biocides) was predicted, including the presence of the clinically relevant mecA, blaZ, and qacA efflux pump genes. SNP-based analysis revealed that strain USP-LZB-G06 was clustered along mecA positive S. epidermidis strains of ST332 isolated between 2008 and 2016 from humans in Australia and the United States of America. Our results indicate that the detection of this microorganism should be considered as a urinary tract infection agent in exotic pets, particularly guinea pigs. In addition, there is an urgent need to update veterinarians regarding the detection and therapeutic management of these microorganisms.
