Using Genomics To Investigate an Outbreak of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium ST78 at a Large Tertiary Hospital in Queensland.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2023. 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
To investigate an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) sequence type 78 (ST78) in a large tertiary Australian hospital. A collection of 63 VREfm ST78 isolates, identified during a routine genomic surveillance program, were subjected to genomic epidemiological analysis based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. The population structure was reconstructed using phylogenetic analysis, and a collection of publicly available VREfm ST78 genomes were used to provide global context. Core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) distances and available clinical metadata were used to characterize outbreak clusters and reconstruct transmission events.
