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

aimsAnemia of inflammation is quite prevalent in hospitalized patients with poor prognosis. Concerns about the effectiveness and safety of iron supplementation have arisen, driving the demand for alternative therapies. Induction of hepatic hepcidin, the master hormone of iron homeostasis, causes anemia under inflammatory conditions. Previous studies indicated that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter and a well-known regulator of inflammation, may inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. We thus investigated the effect of H2S on inflammatory hepcidin induction.

resultsH2S suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepcidin production and regulated iron homeostasis in mice by decreasing serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation; similar results were obtained in Huh7 cells exposed to conditioned medium from LPS-challenged THP-1 macrophages. Intriguingly, we found H2S also attenuated hepcidin levels in Huh7 cells and mouse primary hepatocytes in a sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-dependent manner. By promoting SIRT1 expression and stabilizing SIRT1-STAT3 interactions, H2S ameliorated IL-6-induced STAT3 acetylation, resulting in reduced hepcidin production. Inhibition and silencing of SIRT1 diminished H2S-mediated suppression of hepcidin, as opposed to SIRT1 activation and overexpression. Consistent results were observed in vivo. Furthermore, knockout of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), an endogenous H2S synthase, exaggerated inflammatory hepcidin expression in mice. INNOVATION: For the first time, we elucidated the effects and possible mechanisms of H2S on inflammatory hepcidin and established a novel regulatory link between SIRT1 and hepcidin.

conclusionOur work demonstrates that H2S attenuates inflammation-induced hepatic hepcidin via multipathways and suggests new treatment strategies for anemia of inflammation.
