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

Intracellular sensors detect changes in levels of essential metals to initiate homeostatic responses. But, a mammalian manganese (Mn) sensor is unknown, representing a major gap in understanding of Mn homeostasis. Using human-relevant models, we recently reported that: 1) the primary homeostatic response to elevated Mn is upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which increases expression of the Mn efflux transporter SLC30A10; and 2) elevated Mn blocks the prolyl hydroxylation of HIFs by prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes, which otherwise targets HIFs for degradation. Thus, the mammalian mechanism for sensing elevated Mn likely relates to PHD inhibition. Moreover, 1) Mn substitutes for a catalytic iron (Fe) in PHD structures; and 2) exchangeable cellular levels of Fe and Mn are comparable. Therefore, we hypothesized that elevated Mn directly inhibits PHD by replacing its catalytic Fe. In vitro assays using catalytically active PHD2, the primary PHD isoform, revealed that Mn inhibited, and Fe supplementation rescued, PHD2 activity. However, a mutation in PHD2 (D315E) that selectively reduced Mn binding without substantially impacting Fe binding or enzymatic activity resulted in complete insensitivity of PHD2 to Mn in vitro. Additionally, hepatic cells expressing full-length PHD2
