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

WhiB-like (Wbl) family proteins are a group of small iron-sulfur ([4Fe-4S]) cluster-containing transcription factors and are uniquely found in Actinobacteria and actinobacteriophages. They play pivotal roles in diverse biological processes, including cell development, redox stress response and antibiotic resistance. However, the lack of a canonical DNA binding motif in most Wbl proteins has long obscured the mechanistic understanding of how Wbl family proteins regulate gene expression. Previous studies have shown several members of Wbl family proteins from SIGNIFICANCE: This work addresses a critical knowledge gap in understanding how WhiB-like (Wbl) family proteins regulate gene expression and confer virulence and antibiotic resistance in
