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

Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), whose mRNA possesses a stem-loop structure in 3'-untranslated region, has been identified in most organs and responsible for transport of various divalent metal ions. Previous work from this laboratory has shown that manganese (Mn) exposure alters the function of iron regulatory protein (IRP) and increases iron (Fe) concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This study was designed to test the hypothesis that Mn treatment, by acting on protein-mRNA binding between IRP and DMT1 mRNA, altered the expression of DMT1 in an immortalized choroidal epithelial Z310 cell line which was derived from rat choroid plexus epithelia, leading to a compartmental shift of Fe from the blood to the CSF. Immunocytochemistry confirmed the presence of DMT1 in Z310 cell. Following in vitro exposure to Mn at 100 microM for 24 and 48 h, the expression of DMT1 mRNA in Z310 cells was significantly increased by 45.4% (P < 0.05) and 78.1% (P < 0.01), respectively, as compared to controls. Accordingly, Western blot analysis revealed a significant increase of DMT1 protein concentrations at 48 h after Mn exposure (100 microM). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed that Mn exposure increased binding of IRP to DMT1 mRNA in cultured choroidal Z310 cells. Moreover, real-time RT-PCR revealed no changes in DMT1 heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) levels following Mn exposure. These data suggest that Mn appears to stabilize the binding of IRP to DMT1 mRNA, thereby increasing the expression of DMT1. The facilitated transport of Fe by DMT1 at the blood-CSF barrier may partly contribute to Mn-induced neurodegenerative Parkinsonism.
