Zinc and iron dynamics in human islet amyloid polypeptide-induced diabetes mouse model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Metal homeostasis is tightly regulated in cells and organisms, and its disturbance is frequently observed in some diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders. Previous studies suggest that zinc and iron are necessary for the normal functions of pancreatic β cells. However, the distribution of elements in normal conditions and the pathophysiological significance of dysregulated elements in the islet in diabetic conditions have remained unclear. In this study, to investigate the dynamics of elements in the pancreatic islets of a diabetic mouse model expressing human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP): hIAPP transgenic (hIAPP-Tg) mice, we performed imaging analysis of elements using synchrotron scanning X-ray fluorescence microscopy and quantitative analysis of elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We found that in the islets, zinc significantly decreased in the early stage of diabetes, while iron gradually decreased concurrently with the increase in blood glucose levels of hIAPP-Tg mice. Notably, when zinc and/or iron were decreased in the islets of hIAPP-Tg mice, dysregulation of glucose-stimulated mitochondrial respiration was observed. Our findings may contribute to clarifying the roles of zinc and iron in islet functions under pathophysiological diabetic conditions.
