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

objectiveThis study aims to identify spatiotemporal variations in clonal diversity and antimicrobial resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP). MATERIALS AND

methodsA PubMed search (June 2016-December 2023), combined with data from PubMLST and a previous review (September 2007-May 2016), identified 2654 isolates. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) and Bayesian regression models (BRMs) were used to assess associations between clonal complexes (CCs) and variables (sample type, continent and period), with MLR results feeding into the BRM.

resultsA shift in MRSP clonal structure was observed after 2013. A decline in the prevalence of historically dominant lineages, such as CC71 in Europe, CC68 in North America and CC45 in Asia, coincided with the global emergence of CC551, as well as CC556 and CC1431 in North America, and CC363 and CC1631 in Asia. Resistance to non-β-lactams increased in North America, particularly for chloramphenicol (6%-59%), remained largely stable in Europe except for tetracycline, and decreased in Asia. Striking differences among CCs were observed, with CC71 exhibiting the highest resistance rates and a greater likelihood of being isolated from clinical samples. DISCUSSION: The observed associations between specific CCs and resistance patterns provide valuable insights into the factors driving these epidemiological changes, including regional antimicrobial use patterns (e.g. chloramphenicol usage in North America) and potential fitness advantages of emerging lineages. These dynamics parallel those seen in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

conclusionThe evolving MRSP landscape highlights the need for sustained global surveillance to monitor clonal diversity, antimicrobial use and resistance trends.
