Dps Functions as a Key Player in Bacterial Iron Homeostasis.
Review in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Iron plays a vital role in the maintenance of life, being central to various cellular processes, from respiration to gene regulation. It is essential for iron to be stored in a nontoxic and readily available form. DNA binding proteins under starvation (Dps) belong to the ferritin family of iron storage proteins and are adept at storing iron in their hollow protein shells. Existing solely in prokaryotes, these proteins have the additional functions of DNA binding and protection from oxidative stress. Iron storage proteins play a functional role in storage, release, and transfer of iron and therefore are central to the optimal functioning of iron homeostasis. Here we review the multifarious properties of Dps through relevant biochemical and structural studies with a focus on iron storage and ferroxidation. We also examine the role of Dps as a possible candidate as an iron donor to iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, which are ubiquitous to many biological processes.
