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

Background: Aim: The aim was to determine SA nasal carriage rate and compare the prevalence of methicillin resistance and mupirocin resistance in SA isolated from health care worker and community population. Settings and Design: Cross-sectional study was performed in the Microbiology Department from March 2024 to August 2024. Material and Methods: Nasal swabs from 396 study participants including health care worker and community population, were processed. Methicillin and mupirocin resistance (low level and high level) based on disc diffusion was determined on SA isolates. Statistical Analysis: It was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software v24.0. Results: The overall nasal carriage rate for SA was 17.92% (71/396). Among these only nine were methicillin-sensitive SA and 62 harbored a methicillin-resistant Conclusions: SA carriage rate in anterior nares of healthy healthcare workers is higher as compared to community population. This indicates that health care worker should adhere to infection control practices more stringently. None of the SA isolates showed mupirocin resistance. This might point out that mupirocin is not being used for
