Epidemiological analysis of biofilm-forming methicillin-resistant
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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
Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Methods: In this study, 30 MRSA isolates associated with significant morbidity were recovered from King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia. The strains were identified using the Vitek 2 automated system. The ability of MRSA to form biofilm on a polystyrene surface was evaluated by the crystal violet method. Genetic diversity of the strains was assessed using three methods: repetitive PCR based on (GTG) Results: Out of the 30 MRSA isolates, 29 strains were both highly positive (40%) and low-grade positive (56.66%) biofilm producers. Molecular epidemiology based on multiplex PCR of SCC Conclusion: MRSA isolates exhibited a high ability to produce biofilm, which can pose a serious public health problem. The quantification of biofilm in different clonal lineages is of great importance to develop effective antimicrobial policy and enhance biofilm management during infection. MRSA strains demonstrated significant genetic variability, indicating substantial genetic diversity. (GTG)
