Potassium uptake systems in Staphylococcus aureus: new stories about ancient systems.
Article in mBio, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Staphylococcus aureus is a hardy organism that can survive high-salt conditions better than many other bacteria. This characteristic is thought to help S. aureus survive in the nares and on the skin of the human host and is used to selectively propagate and identify Staphylococcus species. However, the mechanism that allows S. aureus to tolerate such high-salt conditions is not well understood. A recent study in mBio by A. Price-Whelan et al. [mBio 4(4):e00407-13, 2013, doi:10.1128/mBio.00407-13] highlights the importance of potassium uptake in this process. This commentary provides a perspective of the study by Price-Whelan et al. as well as other recently reported work on potassium uptake and transport systems in S. aureus.
