Measurement of Staphylococcus aureus Pigmentation by Methanol Extraction.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Many S. aureus strains produce membrane-associated carotenoid pigments, advantageous secondary metabolites that can alter membrane fluidity, resistance to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and act as antioxidants, properties that can impact resistance against aspects of the host innate immune system. Several studies have reported connections between mutations in both regulatory (i.e., alternative sigma factor B) and metabolic (purine biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation) genes, and noticeable differences in carotenoid pigmentation. This chapter outlines a simple protocol to quantify cellular pigments using a methanol extraction method.
