RpoB H481Y Rifampicin Resistance Mutation-Associated Oxidative Stress Sensitivity Reduces the Virulence of Staphylococcus aureus.
Article in Microbiology and immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In this study, we have established a Staphylococcus aureus RpoB H481Y mutant strain and demonstrated that it is sensitive to menadione or hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and exhibits reduced virulence against a silkworm infection model. Furthermore, the reduced virulence of the RpoB H481Y mutant was abrogated in the presence of N-acetylcysteine, a reactive oxygen species scavenger. These results suggest that oxidative stress sensitivity caused by the RpoB H481Y rifampicin resistance mutation attenuates the virulence of S. aureus.
