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

Iron is an essential nutrient that can determine cellular survival. Many organisms have evolved sophisticated mechanisms for iron uptake and transport to support their growth. The dual dependence on iron of both the host and invading pathogen initiates a competition for this nutrient following infection. Microorganisms have developed various strategies to acquire iron from the host. These are counter-balanced by an iron-withholding strategy that the host deploys as part of its defense system. This strategy, involving many iron-regulatory proteins, mediates iron depletion at the mucosal surfaces, in the extracellular environment, and within the cells. Iron is sequestered into storage by the host in order to deprive the pathogens of this factor and to prevent their proliferation. This system can be compromised. In particular, new evidence is emerging that suggests that viruses are able to specifically target and regulate proteins involved in iron homeostasis. This review focuses on the procedures employed by the host and viruses to regulate iron as a means of defense and survival, respectively.
