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

Ferric citrate transport in Escherichia coli involves proteins encoded by the fec genes, including the transport and signaling protein FecA and the signal transducing protein FecR. Randomly isolated FecA point mutants showed a reduced interaction with FecR and a reduced transcription initiation of the ferric citrate transport genes. The mutations were localized on one side of the FecA signaling domain, which might form the interface to FecR. Some of the mutants showed strongly reduced iron transport rates, which suggests that the signaling domain affects the structure of the FecA transporter domain.
