Epidemiology and risk factors of Methicillin-Resistant
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo control the spread of methicillin-resistant
methodsA retrospective survey was conducted using the electronic database of all MRSA cases reported to the Infection Prevention and Control Center at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia from 2012 to 2020. We collected epidemiological, clinical, and microbiological data and performed comparative analyses between groups using appropriate statistical tests.
resultsAmong 1,145 patients (mean age: 41.2 ± 30.1 years; 67.4% male), 627 (54.8%) were colonization cases and 518 (45.2%) were infections. A significant proportion (68%) of MRSA infections were hospital-acquired. The mean incidence rate of MRSA infection was 0.22 per 1,000 patient-days, with a decreasing trend over time. Hospital-acquired MRSA infections were significantly associated with older age, intensive care unit stay, immunosuppressive therapy, and invasive devices.
conclusionDespite a declining trend, MRSA remains a significant healthcare challenge, particularly among elderly, immunocompromised, and critically ill patients.
