Structural Perspectives on Metal Dependent Roles of Ferric Uptake Regulator (Fur).
Review in Biomolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 is crucial for the metabolism and growth of most prokaryotic cells. The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein plays a central role in regulating iron homeostasis and metabolic processes in bacteria. It ensures the proper utilization of iron and the maintenance of cellular functions in response to environmental cues. Fur proteins are composed of an N-terminal DNA-binding domain (DBD) and a C-terminal dimerization domain (DD), typically existing as dimers in solution. Fur proteins have conserved metal-binding sites named S1, S2, and S3. Among them, site S2 serves as a regulatory site, and metal binding at S2 results in conformational changes. Additionally, as a transcriptional regulator, Fur specifically binds to a consensus DNA sequence called the Fur box. To elucidate the structural and functional properties of Fur proteins, various structures of metal- or DNA-bound Fur proteins or apo-Fur proteins have been determined. In this review, we focus on the structural properties of Fur proteins according to their ligand-bound state and the drug development strategies targeting Fur proteins. This information provides valuable insights for drug discovery.
