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 a micronutrient fundamental for life. Iron homeostasis in mammals requires sustained postnatal intestinal iron absorption that maintains intracellular iron concentrations for central and systemic metabolism as well as for erythropoiesis and oxygen transport. More than 1 billion people worldwide suffer from iron deficiency anemia (IDA), a state of systemic iron insufficiency that limits the production of red blood cells and leads to tissue hypoxia and intracellular iron stress. Despite this tremendous public health concern, very few genetic models of IDA are available to study its progression. Here we developed and characterized a novel genetic mouse model of IDA. We found that tamoxifen-inducible deletion of the mammalian iron exporter ferroportin exclusively in intestinal epithelial cells leads to loss of intestinal iron absorption. Ferroportin ablation yielded a robust phenotype of progressive IDA that develops in as little as 3 months following disruption of intestinal iron absorption. We noted that, at end-stage IDA, tissue-specific transcriptional stress responses occur in which the heart shows little to no hypoxic and iron stress compared with other peripheral organs. However, morphometric and echocardiographic analysis revealed massive cardiac hypertrophy and chamber dilation, albeit with increased cardiac output at very low basal heart rates. We propose that our intestine-specific ferroportin knockout mouse model of end-stage IDA could be used in future studies to investigate IDA progression and cell-specific responses to hypoxic and iron stress.
