Redox-Sensing Under Hypochlorite Stress and Infection Conditions by the Rrf2-Family Repressor HypR in Staphylococcus aureus.
Article in Antioxidants & redox signaling, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
aimsStaphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen and has to cope with reactive oxygen and chlorine species (ROS, RCS) during infections, which requires efficient protection mechanisms to avoid destruction. Here, we have investigated the changes in the RNA-seq transcriptome by the strong oxidant sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in S. aureus USA300 to identify novel redox-sensing mechanisms that provide protection under infection conditions.
resultsNaOCl stress caused an oxidative stress response in S. aureus as indicated by the induction of the PerR, QsrR, HrcA, and SigmaB regulons in the RNA-seq transcriptome. The hypR-merA (USA300HOU_0588-87) operon was most strongly upregulated under NaOCl stress, which encodes for the Rrf2-family regulator HypR and the pyridine nucleotide disulfide reductase MerA. We have characterized HypR as a novel redox-sensitive repressor that controls MerA expression and directly senses and responds to NaOCl and diamide stress via a thiol-based mechanism in S. aureus. Mutational analysis identified Cys33 and the conserved Cys99 as essential for NaOCl sensing, while Cys99 is also important for repressor activity of HypR in vivo. The redox-sensing mechanism of HypR involves Cys33-Cys99 intersubunit disulfide formation by NaOCl stress both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the HypR-controlled flavin disulfide reductase MerA was shown to protect S. aureus against NaOCl stress and increased survival in J774A.1 macrophage infection assays. Conclusion and Innovation: Here, we identified a new member of the widespread Rrf2 family as redox sensor of NaOCl stress in S. aureus that uses a thiol/disulfide switch to regulate defense mechanisms against the oxidative burst under infections in S. aureus.
