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

backgroundStaphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common opportunistic pathogen of companion dogs and an occasional human pathogen. Treatment is hampered by antimicrobial resistance including methicillin resistance encoded by mecA within the mobile genetic element SCCmec.

objectivesSCCmec elements are diverse, especially in non-Staphyloccocus aureus staphylococci, and novel variants are likely to be present in S. pseudintermedius. The aim was to characterize the SCCmec elements found in four canine clinical isolates of S. pseudintermedius. MATERIAL AND

methodsIsolates were whole-genome sequenced and SCCmec elements were assembled, annotated and compared to known SCCmec types. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Two novel SSCmec are present in these isolates. SCCmec7017-61515 is characterized by a novel combination of a Class A mec gene complex and a type 5 ccr previously only described in composite SCCmec elements. The other three isolates share a novel composite SCCmec with features of SCCmec types IV and VI.

conclusionsS. pseudintermedius is a reservoir of novel SSCmec elements that has implications for understanding antimicrobial resistant in veterinary and human medicine.
