1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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), a protein displayed on the outer surface of Staphylococcus aureus, has a structured A-domain that binds fibrinogen (Fg) and a disordered repeat-region that binds fibronectin (Fn). Amino acid substitutions in Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs) have previously been linked to cardiovascular infection in humans. Here we used microtiter and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate adhesion by variants of full-length FnBPA covalently anchored in the outer cell wall of Lactococcus lactis, a Gram-positive surrogate that otherwise lacks adhesins to mammalian ligands. Fn adhesion increased in five of seven FnBPA variants under static conditions. The bond targeting Fn increased its strength with load under mechanical dissociation. Substitutions extended bond lifetime (1/k
