The DNA uptake ATPase PilF of Thermus thermophilus: a reexamination of the zinc content.
Article in Extremophiles : life under extreme conditions, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The DNA-translocator ATPase PilF of Thermus thermophilus HB27 is a hexamer built by six identical subunits. Despite the presence of a conserved zinc-binding site in every subunit, only one zinc atom per hexamer was found. Re-examination of the zinc content of PilF purified from cells grown in complex media with different lots of yeast extract revealed six zinc atoms per hexamer. These data demonstrate that the low zinc content reported before was most likely a result of zinc depletion of the yeast extract used.
