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 FimH adhesin of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae confers the ability to bind to D-mannosides by virtue of a receptor-binding domain located in its N-terminal region. This protein was engineered into a heterobifunctional adhesin by introducing a secondary binding site in the C-terminal region. The insertion of histidine clusters into this site resulted in coordination of various metal ions by recombinant cells expressing chimeric FimH proteins. In addition, libraries consisting of random peptide sequences inserted into the FimH display system and screened by a "panning" technique were used to identify specific sequences conferring the ability to adhere to Ni2+ and Cu2+. Recombinant cells expressing heterobifunctional FimH adhesins could adhere simultaneously to both metals and saccharides. Finally, combining the metal-binding modifications with alterations in the natural receptor-binding region demonstrated the ability to independently modulate the binding of FimH to two ligands simultaneously.
