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

The iron-responsive element binding protein/cytosolic aconitase functions as either an RNA binding protein that regulates the uptake, sequestration, and utilization of iron or an enzyme that interconverts citrate and isocitrate. These mutually exclusive functions are regulated by changes in cellular iron levels. By site-directed mutagenesis we show that (i) ligation of a [4Fe-4S] cluster is necessary to inactivate RNA binding and activate enzyme function in vivo, (ii) three of four arginine residues of the aconitase active site participate in RNA binding, and (iii) aconitase activity is not required for iron-mediated regulation of RNA binding.
