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

backgroundStaphylococcus coagulans, formerly called Staphylococcus schleiferi subsp. coagulans is the second most common isolate from skin lesions of dogs with superficial bacterial folliculitis (SBF). However, the clinical significance of S. coagulans in pustules of canine SBF remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genotypic and phenotypic diversity of S. coagulans isolated from pustules in two dogs with SBF.

resultsTwo dogs with SBF were included in this study. S. schleiferi/coagulans was isolated as the sole organism from three pustules in case #1, whereas it coexisted with S. pseudintermedius in two of seven pustules in case #2. S. pseudintermedius was the sole organism in the remaining five pustules in case #2. Whole genome sequences revealed that all isolates tested were annotated as S. coagulans. The isolates from the same pustules exhibited identical genotypic and phenotypic profiles, indicating clonal multiplication. S. coagulans isolated from different pustules exhibited similar yet distinct genotypic and phenotypic profiles.

conclusionsS. coagulans with identical genetic and phenotypic profiles can be identified as the sole pathogen or coexist with S. pseudintermedius in the pustules of the same dogs with SBF.
