Molecular analysis of the Enterococcus faecalis serotype 2 polysaccharide determinant.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
We previously described a 15-kb genetic cluster consisting of 11 open reading frames (cps2A to cps2K) of Enterococcus faecalis FA2-2 that is responsible for the production of the serotype 2 capsular polysaccharide. By using transcriptional fusions to a promoterless lacZ gene, we identified two independent promoters related to the expression of the polysaccharide. Both transcription initiation sites were mapped by primer extension. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) demonstrated the transcriptional linkage of genes present in both transcripts. Real-time RT-PCR quantification of transcripts revealed maximum transcription during log phase growth, an observation confirmed by promoter fusion studies. The heterologous expression of this pathway in Escherichia coli caused reactivity with E. faecalis type 2 antiserum, thus demonstrating the essential role of this pathway in the synthesis of the type-specific polysaccharide.
