Evaluation of Antibiotic Sensitivity in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Clinical Specimens in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundCommon Gram-positive bacteria MATERIAL AND
methodsA two-year laboratory-based analysis of MRSA strains in a hospital that provides tertiary care was conducted to assess their antibiotic susceptibility profiles.
resultsIn all, 100 isolates of MRSA were examined for patterns of antibiotic susceptibility in various clinical specimens. Among these 41 (41%) were from pus samples, 18 (18%) from wound swabs/discharge, 15 (15%) from urine, 13 (13%) from blood, 4% from sputum, and 3% from tips were found to have smaller percentages than umbilical swabs (2 (2%)) and tissue (1 (1%)) and vaginal swabs( 1 (1%)) and sinus tract samples (1 (1%)). The frequency of MRSA strains was more in males (59%). Linezolid showed the highest sensitivity at 86%.
conclusionThis study highlights the growing challenge of MRSA and other resistant bacteria in hospital settings, complicating treatment choices. Effective MRSA management requires stringent antibiotic policy, infection control procedures, and thorough susceptibility testing. These strategies are critical to preserving viable treatment options and combating antibiotic resistance in healthcare environments.
