Role of fibronectin-binding proteins A and B in in vitro cellular infections and in vivo septic infections by Staphylococcus aureus.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 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
Fibronectin-binding protein A (FnBPA) and FnBPB are important adhesins for Staphylococcus aureus infection. We constructed fnbA and/or fnbB mutant strains from S. aureus SH1000, which possesses intact rsbU, and studied the role of these adhesins in in vitro and in vivo infections. In intravenous infection, all fnb mutants caused a remarkable reduction in the colonization rate in kidneys and the mortality rate of mice. fnbB mutant caused a more severe decrease in body weight than that caused by fnbA mutant. Serum levels of interleukin-6 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation in spleen cells were remarkably reduced in fnbA or fnbA fnbB mutant infections; however, there was no significant reduction in fnbB mutant infections. In in vitro cellular infection, FnBPA was shown to be indispensable for adhesion to and internalization by nonprofessional phagocytic cells upon ingestion by inflammatory macrophages and NF-κB activation. However, both FnBPs were required for efficient cellular responses. The results showed that FnBPA is more important for in vitro and in vivo infections; however, cooperation between FnBPA and FnBPB is indispensable for the induction of severe infection resulting in septic death.
