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

Iron is subject to tight homeostatic control in mammals. At the systemic level, iron homeostasis is controlled by the liver-derived hormone hepcidin acting on its target ferroportin in the gut, spleen, and liver, which form the sites of iron uptake, recycling, and storage, respectively. At the cellular level, iron homeostasis is dependent on the iron regulatory proteins IRP1/IRP2. Unique chemical properties of iron underpin its importance in biochemical reactions involving oxygen. As such, it is not surprising that there are reciprocal regulatory links between iron and oxygen homeostasis, operating both at the systemic and cellular levels. Hypoxia activates the IRP pathway, and in addition suppresses liver hepcidin through endocrine factors that have yet to be fully elucidated. This review summarizes current knowledge on the interplay between oxygen and iron homeostasis and describes recent insights gained into this interaction in the context of the heart. These include the recognition that the hepcidin/ferroportin axis plays a vital role in the regulation of intracellular iron homeostasis as well as regulating systemic iron availability. As is the case for other aspects of iron homeostasis, hypoxia significantly modulates the function of the hepcidin/ferroportin pathway in the heart. Key areas still to understand are the interactions between cardiac iron and diseases of the heart where hypoxia is a recognized component.
