FimH as a scaffold for regulated molecular recognition.
Article in Journal of biological engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRecognition proteins are critical in many biotechnology applications and would be even more useful if their binding could be regulated. The current gold standard for recognition molecules, antibodies, lacks convenient regulation. Alternative scaffolds can be used to build recognition proteins with new functionalities, including regulated recognition molecules. Here we test the use of the bacterial adhesin FimH as a scaffold for regulated molecular recognition. FimH binds to its native small molecule target mannose in a conformation-dependent manner that can be regulated by two types of noncompetitive regulation: allosteric and parasteric.
resultsWe demonstrate that conformational regulation of FimH can be maintained even after reengineering the binding site to recognize the non-mannosylated targets nickel or Penta-His antibody, resulting in an up to 7-fold difference in K
conclusionsThis illustrates the potential of FimH, with its deeply studied conformation-dependent binding, as a scaffold for conformationally regulated binding via multiple mechanisms.
