Article in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and objectives: The increasing occurrence of MRSA clinical isolates harbouring reduced susceptibility to mainstay antibiotics has escalated the use of second and last line antibiotics. Hence, it is critical to evaluate the likelihood of MRSA developing clinical resistance to these antibiotics. Our study sought to characterize the development of resistance to vancomycin (VAN), daptomycin (DAP) and linezolid (LZD) in MRSA ATCC 43300 Methods: MRSA was exposed to increasing concentrations of VAN, DAP and LZD for 20 days, with eight replicates for each antibiotic conducted in parallel. The resulting day 20 (D20) isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole genome sequencing, autolysis assays, and growth curves to determine bacterial fitness. Results: Exposure to VAN or LZD for 20 days resulted in a subtle 2-fold increase in the MIC, whereas DAP exposure yielded DAP-non-susceptible isolates with up to 16-fold MIC increase. The MIC increase was accompanied by variable changes in relative fitness and reduced resistance to autolysis in some isolates. D20 isolates harboured mutations in genes commonly associated with resistance to the respective antibiotics (e.g. Conclusions:
