Mec-A Positive Methicillin-Susceptible
Article in Reports of biochemistry & molecular biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Methods: Clinical infection samples obtained from blood were collected and categorised as MRSA or Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) using the VITEK-2 compact device. Subsequently, specific samples were gathered as case series owing to their unique characteristics. Resistance genes were detected using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by visualisation through electrophoresis. Results: Our findings were based on the identification of five instances of MSSA among samples obtained from a tertiary hospital's microbiology laboratory. Using the VITEK-2 antimicrobial susceptibility profile, these cases were determined to be MSSA. Subsequently, we conducted PCR, which revealed the presence of a mec-a-positive strain. Upon re-examination using Mueller-Hinton agar, the five strains were confirmed to be MSSA. Further analysis demonstrated that all strains were positive for Panton-Valentine leucocidin Conclusions: The positive mec-A MSSA results should serve as a warning to clinicians that a resistant strain is forthcoming. mec-A continues to be the benchmark for confirming the resistance phenotype. Additional research is essential to explore this strain.
