The divalent metal ion exporter IhpABC is required to maintain iron homeostasis under low to moderate environmental iron conditions in the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum.

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
Bacterial iron export mitigates high iron stress, but a role for it under lower iron conditions has not been established. MbfA is the high iron stress exporter in Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Here, we identify the ihpABC genes in a selection for secondary site mutations that suppress the poor growth phenotype of feoAB mutants defective in iron acquisition. IhpABC belongs to the RND tripartite efflux pump family. High iron conditions that derepress the mbfA gene partially rescued the growth of an ihpC mutant but reverted the feoB ihpC mutant to the feoB growth phenotype. The ihpA mutant grown under low iron conditions accumulated higher levels of iron compared to the wild type, and it displayed aberrant iron-responsive gene expression. The mbfA mutant was more sensitive than the wild type to H
