Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization level and intracellular reservoir: a prospective cohort study.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 major pathogen in humans. The nasal vestibule is considered as the main reservoir of S. aureus. However, even though the nasal cavity may also be colonized by S. aureus, the relationships between the two sites are still unclear. We conducted a prospective study in humans to assess the S. aureus colonization profiles in the vestibule and nasal cavity, and to investigate the presence of intracellular S. aureus in the two sites. Patients undergoing ear, nose, and throat surgery were swabbed during endoscopy to determine S. aureus nasal load, genotype, and presence of intracellular S. aureus. Among per-operative samples from 90 patients, the prevalence of S. aureus carriage was 32.2% and 33.3% in the vestibule and the nasal cavity, respectively. The mean S. aureus load was 4.10 and 4.25 log
