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

Nramp1 (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein) was positionally cloned as the defective biallelic locus in inbred mouse strains associated with uncontrolled proliferation of obligate intracellular macrophage pathogens. The causative defect was described as G169D within membrane spanning domain 4 of a transporter. The biochemical activity of Nramp1 is implied from sequence conservation with Nramp2. Nramp2 encodes a divalent cation transporter and is the carrier of a defect in models of microcytic anaemia, associated with impaired intestinal iron uptake. Iron sequestration has been proposed as an antimicrobial mechanism. Therefore, such an activity for Nramp1 is consistent with model systems. Here we showed that Nramp1 directs iron transport within the macrophage. We describe stable, high-level Nramp1G169 allele-derived polypeptide expression in Balb/c Nramp1D169 RAW264.7 cells. Transfectants express levels, comparable to those in Nramp1G169-resistant macrophages, of a 90-100x103 MW Nramp1 polypeptide. Expression of the Nramp1 polypeptide correlates with lower cellular iron loads and a reduced chelatable iron pool following challenge with iron: nitrilotriacetate. Pulse chase experiments support an enhanced iron flux in expressing cells. These data are supported using the fluorescent iron probe calcein. In Nramp1G169-expressing cells we observed an increased iron flux into the cytoplasm from a calcein-inaccessible cellular location. These data suggest Nramp1, in resting macrophage cells, mobilizes iron, from an intracellular vesicle, which is destined for cell secretion. We propose that under these conditions Nramp1 plays a role in a salvage pathway of iron recycling.
