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

The GATA-type, zinc-finger protein Cir1 regulates iron uptake, iron homeostasis and virulence factor expression in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. The mechanisms by which Cir1 senses iron availability, although as yet undefined, are important for understanding the proliferation of the fungus in mammalian hosts. We investigated the influence of iron availability on Cir1 and found that the abundance of the protein decreases upon iron deprivation. This destabilization was influenced by reducing conditions and by inhibition of proteasome function. The combined data suggest a post-translational mechanism for the control of Cir1 abundance in response to iron and redox status.
