Regulation of the β-hemolysin gene cluster of Streptococcus anginosus by CcpA.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Streptococcus anginosus is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. However, our knowledge about virulence determinants in this species is scarce. One exception is the streptolysin-S (SLS) homologue responsible for the β-hemolytic phenotype of the S. anginosus type strain. In S. anginosus the expression of the hemolysin is reduced in the presence of high glucose concentrations. To investigate the genetic mechanism of the hemolysin repression we created an isogenic ccpA deletion strain. In contrast to the wild type strain, this mutant exhibits hemolytic activity in presence of up to 25 mM glucose supplementation, a phenotype that could be reverted by ccpA complementation. To further demonstrate that CcpA directly regulates the hemolysin expression, we performed an in silico analysis of the promoter of the SLS gene cluster and we verified the binding of CcpA to the promoter by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. This allowed us to define the CcpA binding site in the SLS promoter region of S. anginosus. In conclusion, we report for the first time the characterization of a potential virulence regulator in S. anginosus.
