Comparative analysis of the sigma B-dependent stress responses in Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria innocua strains exposed to selected stress conditions.
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 78 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 alternative sigma factor sigma(B) contributes to transcription of stress response and virulence genes in diverse gram-positive bacterial species. The composition and functions of the Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria innocua sigma(B) regulons were hypothesized to differ due to virulence differences between these closely related species. Transcript levels in stationary-phase cells and in cells exposed to salt stress were characterized by microarray analyses for both species. In L. monocytogenes, 168 genes were positively regulated by sigma(B); 145 of these genes were preceded by a putative sigma(B) consensus promoter. In L. innocua, 64 genes were positively regulated by sigma(B). sigma(B) contributed to acid stress survival in log-phase cells for both species but to survival in stationary-phase cells only for L. monocytogenes. In summary, (i) the L. monocytogenes sigma(B) regulon includes >140 genes that are both directly and positively regulated by sigma(B), including genes encoding proteins with importance in stress response, virulence, transcriptional regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, and transport; (ii) a number of L. monocytogenes genes encoding flagellar proteins show higher transcript levels in the Delta sigB mutant, and both L. monocytogenes and L. innocua Delta sigB null mutants have increased motility compared to the respective isogenic parent strains, suggesting that sigma(B) affects motility and chemotaxis; and (iii) although L. monocytogenes and L. innocua differ in sigma(B)-dependent acid stress resistance and have species-specific sigma(B)-dependent genes, the L. monocytogenes and L. innocua sigma(B) regulons show considerable conservation, with a common set of at least 49 genes that are sigma(B) dependent in both species.
