Extrahepatic Iron Loading Associates With the Propensity to Develop Advanced Hepatic Fibrosis in Hemochromatosis.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Hemostatic iron regulator-hemochromatosis can result in progressive iron-loading and advanced hepatic fibrosis in some individuals. We studied total body and hepatic iron loading to determine whether the distribution of iron-loading influences the risk of advanced fibrosis. Methods: One hundred thirty-eight men and 66 women with hemochromatosis who underwent liver biopsy for staging of hepatic fibrosis had evaluation of hepatic iron concentration (HIC), hepatic iron index (HIC/age), total body iron stores (mobilizable iron), and mobilizable iron/HIC ratio (a marker of total body iron relative to hepatic iron). The potential impact of liver volume on mobilizable iron stores was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging in a separate cohort of 19 newly diagnosed individuals with hemochromatosis. Results: Of 204 biopsied subjects, 41 had advanced fibrosis and exhibited 60% greater accumulation of mobilizable iron relative to HIC (mean 0.070 ± 0.008 g Fe/[μmol Fe/g]) compared with 163 subjects with low-grade fibrosis (mean 0.044 ± 0.002 g Fe/[μmol Fe/g], Conclusion: Advanced hepatic fibrosis develops in hemostatic iron regulator-hemochromatosis individuals who also have excessive extrahepatic mobilizable iron stores.
