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

Manganese is one of the essential trace elements found in erythrocytes. Metal transporters situated on the plasma membrane generally facilitate the movement of manganese into and out of cells. This study aims at determining whether two recently discovered manganese importers, ZIP8 and ZIP14, are located in the erythrocyte membrane. We outline a simple, effective and repeatable method for the isolation of erythrocyte membrane from a minimum of 50 µL mouse blood, followed by the identification of ZIP metal transporters using immunoblotting. Our results revealed that ZIP8 is expressed within the erythrocyte membrane, in contrast to ZIP14 which is not identified using immunoblotting approach. A direct measurement of the ZIP8 protein expression in erythrocyte membranes could provide valuable information for further analyzing its biological function.
