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

The activity of vancomycin and Ly333328, a new semisynthetic glycopeptide, against eight strains of Staphylococcus aureus showing various susceptibilities to methicillin and ciprofloxacin was examined using a colony count method. We compared the growth of strains ingested by polymorphonuclear leucocytes and non-ingested strains. MICs of vancomycin and Ly333328 against staphylococci resistant and susceptible to methicillin were 2 mg/l and 2-4 mg/l, respectively. Against all the tested extracellular staphylococci, vancomycin had only bacteriostatic activity, whereas Ly333328 showed cidal activity at 10 MIC. Against ingested staphylococci, vancomycin had nearly no activity compared with the controls, regardless of the concentration of the drug. Ly333328 at concentrations of 1 MIC and above was highly active against ingested staphylococci regardless of their susceptibility pattern. The results suggest that Ly333328 in contrast to vancomycin is active against intracellular S. aureus.
