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
Repetitive sequence-based (Rep)-PCR genotyping as described here is based on the presence of homologues of Mycoplasma pneumoniae repeat-like elements in Staphylococcus. In this study we comparatively evaluated the usefulness of rep-PCR typing with two sets of well-defined collections of Staphylococcus aureus strains. Rep-PCR analysis of the first collection of S. aureus strains (n = 59) and one Staphylococcus intermedius strain showed 14 different rep-PCR patterns, with each pattern harboring 6 to 15 DNA fragments. The discriminatory power of rep-PCR typing compared well to those of arbitrarily primed PCR (average of 20 types) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (11 types). S. aureus strain collection I comprised four outbreak-related groups of isolates. The isolates in only one group were found to have identical rep-PCR profiles. However, in an analysis of isolates from three additional independent local outbreaks (n for outbreaks 1 and 2 = 5, n for outbreak 3 = 12), identical rep-PCR types were found among strains isolated during each outbreak. Therefore, we conclude that rep-PCR genotyping may be an easy and fast method for monitoring of the epidemiology of nosocomial Staphylococcus infections. Rep-PCR analysis of strain collection II, which consisted of epidemic and nonepidemic methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, revealed that a cluster of similar rep-PCR profiles was found among MRSA isolates which were more frequently isolated and which were most often associated with outbreaks.
