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 required by almost all bacteria, but concentrations above physiological levels are toxic. In bacteria, intracellular iron is regulated mostly by the ferric uptake regulator, Fur, or a similar functional protein. Iron limitation results in the regulation of a number of genes, especially those involved in iron uptake. A subset of these genes is the Fur regulon under the control of Fur. In the present study, we have identified Fur- and iron-regulated genes in Listeria monocytogenes by DNA microarray analysis using a fur mutant and its isogenic parent. To identify genes regulated exclusively in response to iron limitation, the whole-genome transcriptional responses to the iron limitation of a fur mutant and its isogenic parent were compared. Fur-regulated genes were identified by comparing the transcriptional profile of the parent with the transcriptional profile of the isogenic fur mutant. Our studies have identified genes regulated exclusively in response to iron and those that are negatively regulated by Fur. We have identified at least 14 genes that were negatively regulated directly by Fur. Under iron-limited conditions, these genes were upregulated, while the expression of fur was found to be downregulated. To further investigate the regulation of fur in response to iron, an ectopic fur promoter-lacZ transcriptional fusion strain was constructed, and its isogenic fur and perR mutant derivatives were generated in L. monocytogenes 10403S. Analysis of the iron limitation of the perR mutant indicated that the regulation of genes under the negative control of Fur was significantly inhibited. Our results indicate that Fur and PerR proteins negatively regulate fur and that under iron-limited conditions, PerR is required for the negative regulation of genes controlled by Fur.
