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

Zinc, an indispensable trace element, performs critical functions in human physiology. As a versatile cofactor, zinc participates in over 1000 enzymatic reactions and regulates more than 2000 transcription factors, orchestrating diverse cellular signaling pathways. The transmembrane transport of zinc is mediated by specialized transporter proteins, which are categorized into two families: zinc transporters (ZnTs) and Zrt- and Irt-like proteins (ZIPs). These transporters are pivotal for maintaining cellular and systemic zinc homeostasis. Pathogenic variants in ZnT/ZIP genes are associated with a spectrum of severe human diseases. This review systematically examines the pathophysiological connections between ZnT/ZIP gene variants and human diseases, providing a conceptual framework for future mechanistic investigations.
