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

Ferritin, a ubiquitous iron storage protein, has a crucial role in innate immunity in arthropods, which have no adaptive immune system. Arthropods are thought to have two types of ferritin molecules: the secreted type and the cytosolic type. Here, we present the first crystal structure of ferritin from crustacean, kuruma prawn (Marsupenaeus japonicus), at 1.16 Å resolution. This shrimp ferritin (MjFer) is the cytosolic type, and its structure shows well-conserved ferritin fold composed of a 4-helix bundle that assembles into a cage-like 24-mer. The structure of MjFer was more similar to those of human and vertebrate ferritins than to that of the secreted-type arthropod ferritin from an insect. MjFer possesses both a ferroxidase site and a nucleation site, which are the main characteristics of vertebrate H and L chain ferritins, respectively. The first crystal structure of crustacean ferritin, MjFer, has exceptionally high quality that provides the detailed structural information of metal moving pathway in ferritin.
