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

Iron is a vital element involved in a plethora of metabolic activities. Mammalian systemic iron homeostasis is mainly modulated by hepcidin, the synthesis of which is regulated by a number of proteins, including the hemochromatosis-associated proteins Hfe and Transferrin Receptor 2 (TfR2). Macrophages play versatile functions in iron homeostasis by storing iron derived from the catabolism of erythrocytes and supplying iron required for erythropoiesis. The absence of Hfe in macrophages causes a mild iron deficiency in aged mice and leads to an overproduction of the iron exporter Ferroportin 1 (Fpn1). Conversely,
