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 importance of the role of iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) in mitochondrial iron homeostasis and function has been raised. To understand how an IRP affects mitochondrial function, we used globally Irp2-depleted mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and found that Irp2 ablation significantly induced the expression of both hypoxia-inducible factor subunits, Hif1α and Hif2α. The increase of Hif1α up-regulated its targeted genes, enhancing glycolysis, and the increase of Hif2α down-regulated the expression of iron-sulfur cluster (Fe-S) biogenesis-related and electron transport chain (ETC)-related genes, weakening mitochondrial respiration. Inhibition of Hif1α by genetic knockdown or a specific inhibitor prevented Hif1α-targeted gene expression, leading to decreased aerobic glycolysis. Inhibition of Hif2α by genetic knockdown or selective disruption of the heterodimerization of Hif2α and Hif1β restored the mitochondrial ETC and coupled oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by enhancing Fe-S biogenesis and increasing ETC-related gene expression. Our results indicate that Irp2 modulates the metabolic switch from aerobic glycolysis to OXPHOS that is mediated by Hif1α and Hif2α in MEFs.
