Structural and functional relationship of mammalian and nematode ferritins.
Review in Biotechnologia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ferritin is a unique buffering protein in iron metabolism. By storing or releasing iron in a tightly controlled manner, it prevents the negative effects of free ferrous ions on biomolecules in all domains of life - from bacteria to mammals. This review focuses on the structural features and activity of the ferritin protein family with an emphasis on nematode ferritins and the similarities in their biological roles with mammalian ferritins. The conservative characteristic of the ferritin family across the species originates from the ferroxidase activity against redox-active iron. The antioxidative function of these proteins translates into their involvement in a wide range of important biological processes, e.g., aging, fat metabolism, immunity, anticancer activity, and antipathogenic activity. Moreover, disturbances in ferritin expression lead to severe iron-associated diseases. Research on the
