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 ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate metal homeostasis in response to the binding of iron (Fur), zinc (Zur), manganese (Mur), or nickel (Nur). FUR family proteins are generally dimers in solution, but the DNA-bound complex can involve a single dimer, a dimer-of-dimers, or an extended array of bound protein. Elevated FUR levels due to changes in cell physiology increase DNA occupancy and may also kinetically facilitate protein dissociation. Interactions between FUR proteins and other regulators are commonplace, often including cooperative and competitive DNA-binding interactions within the regulatory region. Further, there are many emerging examples of allosteric regulators that interact directly with FUR family proteins. Here, we focus on newly uncovered examples of allosteric regulation by diverse Fur antagonists (Escherichia coli YdiV/SlyD, Salmonella enterica EIIA
