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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) shows frequent recurrence. Staphylococcus aureus is the primary microbial component in AD and is associated with disease activity. However, traditional typing methods have failed to characterize virulent AD isolates at the clone level. We conducted a comprehensive genomic characterization of S. aureus strains isolated from the skin of AD patients and healthy donors, comparing the whole-genome sequences of the 261 isolates with anatomical and lesional (AD-A)/nonlesional (AD-NL)/healthy sites, eruption types, clinical scores, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance gene repertoires in Japan. Sequence type (ST) diversity was lost with worsening disease activity; ST188 was the most frequently detected ST in AD-A and had the strongest correlation with AD according to the culture rate and proportion with worsening disease activity. ST188 and ST20 isolates inhabited all skin conditions, with significantly higher proportions in AD skin than in healthy skin. ST8, ST15, and ST5 proportions were equivalent for all skin conditions; ST30 was detected only in healthy skin; and ST12 was detected only in AD skin. ST97 detected in AD-A and healthy skin was clearly branched into two subclades, designated ST97
