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

Staphylococcus aureus is the cause of serious infections in humans, including endocarditis, deep-seated abscesses, and bacteremia, which lead to toxic and septic shock syndromes. Rapid and direct identification of this bacterium specifically and ubiquitously directly from clinical specimens would be useful in improving the diagnosis of S. aureus infections in the clinical microbiology laboratory. A wide variety of kits based on biochemical characteristics efficiently identify S. aureus, but the rapidity and the accuracy of each of these methods combined with testing of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes need to be improved. On the basis of hybridization assays with randomly selected clones from an S. aureus genomic library, we have identified a chromosomal DNA fragment which is specific for S. aureus and which detected all 82 S. aureus isolates tested. This 442-bp fragment was sequenced and was used to design a set of PCR amplification primers. The PCR assay was also specific and ubiquitous for the identification from bacterial cultures of 195 clinical strains of S. aureus isolated from a variety of anatomical sites and obtained from hospitals throughout the world. The PCR assay that we have developed is simple and can be performed in about 1 h. This DNA-based test provides a novel diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of S. aureus infections.
