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-ion transporter-1 (DMT1), the principal mechanism by which nonheme iron is taken up at the intestinal brush border, is energized by the H(+)-electrochemical potential gradient. The provenance of the H(+) gradient in vivo is unknown, so we have explored a role for brush-border Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) isoforms by examining iron homeostasis and intestinal iron handling in mice lacking NHE2 or NHE3. We observed modestly depleted liver iron stores in NHE2-null (NHE2(-/-)) mice stressed on a low-iron diet but no change in hematological or blood iron variables or the expression of genes associated with iron metabolism compared with wild-type mice. Ablation of NHE3 strongly depleted liver iron stores, regardless of diet. We observed decreases in blood iron variables but no overt anemia in NHE3-null (NHE3(-/-)) mice on a low-iron diet. Intestinal expression of DMT1, the apical surface ferrireductase cytochrome b reductase-1, and the basolateral iron exporter ferroportin was upregulated in NHE3(-/-) mice, and expression of liver Hamp1 (hepcidin) was suppressed compared with wild-type mice. Absorption of (59)Fe from an oral dose was substantially impaired in NHE3(-/-) compared with wild-type mice. Our data point to an important role for NHE3 in generating the H(+) gradient that drives DMT1-mediated iron uptake at the intestinal brush border.
