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 Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is crucial to both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria for the maintenance of iron homeostasis as well as the defence against reactive oxygen species. Based on datasets from the genome-wide mapping of transcriptional start sites and transcriptome data, we identified a high confidence regulon controlled by Fur for the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and its close relative, strain 6714, based on the conserved strong iron starvation response and Fur-binding site occurrence. This regulon comprises 33 protein-coding genes and the sRNA IsaR1 that are under the control of 16 or 14 individual promoters in strains 6803 and 6714, respectively. The associated gene functions are mostly restricted to transporters and enzymes involved in the uptake and storage of iron ions, with few exceptions or unknown functional relevance. Within the isiABC operon, we identified a previously neglected gene encoding a small cysteine-rich protein, which we suggest calling, IsiE. The regulation of iron uptake, storage, and utilization ultimately results from the interplay between the Fur regulon, several other transcription factors, the FtsH3 protease, and the sRNA IsaR1.
