Iron Biology in Acute Kidney Injury: Catalytic Iron, Hepcidin-Ferroportin Axis, and NGAL-A Narrative Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. 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
Dysregulated iron handling-including catalytic iron and ferroptosis, hepcidin-ferroportin signaling, ferritin dynamics, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)-mediated siderophore transport-has been implicated in the initiation and propagation of acute kidney injury (AKI) across ischemia-reperfusion, sepsis, and nephrotoxic contexts. To provide a SANRA-aligned narrative synthesis of mechanistic and translational evidence on iron biology in AKI, clarifying biomarker readiness and therapeutic prospects while explicitly separating preclinical from human findings. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (1 January 2000 to 30 September 2025), plus appraised grey literature (guidelines/registries) using predefined criteria (authority, update recency, and methodological transparency). Narrative review with comprehensive database searches, single-reviewer screening/extraction (acknowledged as a limitation), and qualitative synthesis. Evidence is organized by pathway (catalytic iron/ferroptosis, transferrin (Tf)/transferrin receptor (/TfR), ferritin/ferritin heavy chain (FtH), hepcidin-ferroportin and NGAL) and translational domain (biomarkers and therapeutics). Statements are tagged as [Preclinical] or [Human].
