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: Following initial detection of livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) ST398/t011 and hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) ST239/t037 in early 2025, we conducted a cross-sectional six-month surveillance study to determine whether these clones represent transient introductions or continued detection in a referral hospital in Bojnurd, North Khorasan Province, northeastern Iran. Methods: From July to December 2025, we collected 258 consecutive clinical specimens at Imam Reza Hospital, Bojnurd. MRSA isolates underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing, Results: Among 61 Conclusion: This study documents continued detection of LA-MRSA ST398/t011 at a referral hospital in Bojnurd, co-circulating with endemic HA-MRSA ST239/t037. The detection of a PVL-positive ST398 isolate warrants further investigation and underscores the importance of integrated One Health surveillance. Given the small sample size (n = 11), these findings are descriptive and hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory.
