Survival of and in situ gene expression by Vibrio vulnificus at varying salinities in estuarine environments.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The opportunistic human pathogen Vibrio vulnificus survives in a wide range of ecological environments, which demonstrates its ability to adapt to highly variable conditions. Survival and gene expression under various conditions have been extensively studied in vitro; however, little work has been done to evaluate this bacterium in its natural habitat. Therefore, this study monitored the long-term survival of V. vulnificus in situ and simultaneously evaluated the expression of stress (rpoS, relA, hfq, and groEL) and putative virulence (vvpE, smcR, viuB, and trkA) genes at estuarine sites of varying salinity. Additionally, the survival and gene expression of an rpoS and an oxyR mutant were examined under the same conditions. Differences between the sampling sites in the long-term survival of any strain were not seen. However, differences were seen in the expression of viuB, trkA, and relA but our findings differed from what has been previously shown in vitro. These results also routinely demonstrated that genes required for survival under in vitro stress or host conditions are not necessarily required for survival in the water column. Overall, this study highlights the need for further in situ evaluation of this bacterium in order to gain a true understanding of its ecology and how it relates to its natural habitat.
