Nasopharyngeal Staphylococcus aureus Isolation and Bacterial Culture Profiles in COVID-19 Patients: A Comparative Study Based on Lung Involvement.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis exploratory study aimed to determine the nasopharyngeal carriage rate of
methodsNasopharyngeal samples were collected from COVID-19 patients with and without lung involvement, as assessed by thoracic CT scans. The study also included PCR-negative control patients. Sampling occurred between January and March 2021 at a state hospital outpatient clinic. A total of 65 participants were included in the study: 51 (78.5%) tested positive for COVID-19, of whom 25 (49.0%) had lung involvement and 26 (51.0%) did not. The remaining 14 (21.5%) served as PCR-negative controls.
