Differential expression of virulence-related genes in Enterococcus faecalis in response to biological cues in serum and urine.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 papers.
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
Enterococci rank among leading causes of nosocomial bacteremia and urinary tract infection and are also a leading cause of community acquired subacute endocarditis. Limited evidence suggests that biological cues in serum and urine may play an important role in modulating enterococcal virulence at sites of infection. To determine the extent to which biological cues affect enterococcal virulence-associated gene expression, we used quantitative real-time PCR to compare mRNA levels in Enterococcus faecalis cultures grown in serum or urine to that achieved in laboratory medium. Both environment- and growth phase-specific variations were observed, demonstrating the occurrence of as-yet-uncharacterized mechanisms for control of gene expression in E. faecalis that may play an important role in vivo.
