Phylogenetic analysis and virulence determinant of the host-adapted Staphylococcus aureus lineage ST188 in China.
Article in Emerging microbes & infections, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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 (S. aureus) is an important pathogen of humans and livestock species, but an understanding of the clonal distribution of S. aureus causing different host-species infections in the same geographical environment and within the same period is lacking. By characterizing infections caused by S. aureus in bovine, pediatric, and adult patients in Shanghai, China, between 2012 and 2014, we identified methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) ST188 as the major lineage causing infections in multiple host species. Whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic analyses demonstrated that ST188 might evolve from livestock, and there was no significant genomic or virulence difference between ST188 isolated from livestock and humans. The virulence of ST188 is related to its adhesion and nasal colonization ability. This result is in accord with the strong epithelial cell adhesion and biofilm formation properties of ST188. Furthermore, the adhesion- and biofilm-formation-related genes are present in multiple copies and exhibit significantly increased expression in ST188. In conclusion, S. aureus ST188 is the major lineage causing human and livestock infections in Shanghai, China. Due to its high expression of the factors associated with bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, ST188 has the ability to colonize and infect different host species.
