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.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia is a common complication of ulcerative colitis (UC) that can profoundly impact quality of life. Most iron absorption occurs in the duodenum via divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1)-mediated uptake and ferroportin-1 (FPN1)-mediated export across the apical and basolateral membranes, respectively. However, the colon also contains iron transporters and can participate in iron absorption. Studies have shown increased duodenal DMT1 and FPN1 in patients with UC, but there is conflicting evidence about whether expression is altered in UC colon. We hypothesized that expression of colonic DMT1 and FPN1 will also increase to compensate for iron deficiency. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were performed on duodenal and colonic segmental (right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) biopsies obtained during colonoscopy. DMT1 mRNA and protein abundances in colonic segments were approximately equal to those in the duodenum, whereas colonic FPN1 mRNA and protein abundances of colonic segments were about one-quarter of those of the duodenum. DMT1 specific mRNA and protein abundances were increased twofold, whereas FPN1 mRNA and protein expressions were increased fivefold in UC distal colon. Immunofluorescence studies revealed enhanced expression of apical membrane- and basolateral membrane-localized DMT1 and FPN1 in UC human colon, respectively. Increased DMT1 expression was associated with enhanced 2-(3-carbamimidoylsulfanylmethyl-benzyl)-isothiourea (CISMBI, DMT1 specific inhibitor)-sensitive
