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 newly discovered proteins hemojuvelin (Hjv) and transferrin receptor type 2 (TfR2) are involved in iron metabolism. Mutations in the Hjv and TfR2 gene cause hemochromatosis. We investigated the expression and cellular localization of Hjv and TfR2 in rat and human liver. The expression of Hjv and TfR2 was shown on mRNA and protein level by RT-PCR and immunoblot experiments. Their cellular localization was studied by immunofluorescence with antibodies raised against Hjv and TfR2. Hjv and TfR2 are present in human and rat liver and in primary human hepatocytes. Antisera raised against Hjv identified immunoreactive proteins with an apparent size of 44 and 46 kDa in immunoblot experiments of rat and human liver extracts, which are in accordance with the putative membrane-bound and cleaved soluble forms of this protein, respectively. TfR2 was detected as a 105 kDa protein corresponding to the predicted size of glycosylated TfR2 monomers. In immunofluorescence experiments, Hjv and TfR2 were found in rat liver only in hepatocytes. At the subcellular level, both proteins were predominantly localized to the basolateral membrane domain of hepatocytes. The localization of Hjv and TfR2 at the same membrane domain renders a functional interaction of these two proteins in iron homeostasis possible.
