Roles of ghrelin, hepcidin and HIF-2α in iron metabolism in iron deficiency anemia.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectivesThis study investigates the roles of HIF-2α, hepcidin, and ghrelin in iron deficiency anemia (IDA), the most widespread nutritional disorder globally. MATERIAL AND
methodsFifty IDA patients (18-50 years, BMI 19-25) and 40 healthy volunteers were studied. Hemoglobin, ferritin, hepcidin, HIF-2α, and ghrelin levels were analyzed.
resultsIDA patients showed lower hemoglobin, ferritin, hepcidin, and ghrelin levels than the control group, but HIF-2α levels were similar. Positive correlations were observed in both groups between hepcidin and HIF-2α (p < 0.001), hepcidin and ghrelin (p < 0.001), and HIF-2α and ghrelin (p < 0.001). Hemoglobin was correlated positively with HIF-2α, and ferritin was correlated positively with HIF-2α in the patient group.
conclusionThe study suggests that the low hepcidin levels in IDA patients enhance iron absorption. The lack of significant HIF-2α level differences may be due to the absence of chronic hypoxia in current hemoglobin levels of IDA patients. Moreover, the low ghrelin levels in patients and the correlations between ghrelin, hepcidin, and HIF-2α in both groups indicate their involvement in iron metabolism.
