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

This study investigated the biological characteristics of Staphylococcus strains isolated from Xizangan yak milk by examining the antibiotic resistance phenotypes of 69 isolates against 18 antibiotics, detecting 31 associated resistance genes, identifying 16 virulence genes, and assessing biofilm formation capability. Furthermore, molecular typing techniques including spa typing, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and Staphylococcus cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) were used for detailed characterization of the isolates. The findings revealed a high penicillin resistance rate of 72.46%. Resistance genes such as gyrA (100.00%), glrB (92.75%), and gyrB (44.93%) were prevalent. The detection rates were 81.16% and 55.07% for the beta-lactamase gene blaZ and the mecA gene, respectively. Among the tested virulence genes, lukS, lukF, hla, clfA, and icaD were detected in 40.58% of isolates, while sec was detected in 24.64%. MLST typing identified four isolates belonging to the ST62623 type and 24 other isolates representing novel ST types not reported on PubMLST.org. Spa typing revealed spa types t1940 (n = 9), t3022 (n = 8), t4558 (n = 6), t4236 (n = 3), t4445 (n = 1), and one unreported spa type. For SCCmec typing, 11 isolates were typed as SCCmec IVb and 9 as SCCmec V. These findings significantly enhance our understanding of the biological characteristics of Staphylococcus strains derived from Xizangan yak milk.
