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

Hypoxia represents an endogenous pathophysiological signal underlying cell growth, adaptation and death in a variety of diseases, including ischemic heart diseases, stroke and solid tumors. A vigilant vector system depends on a gene switch which can sense the hypoxia signal occurring in ischemic events and turn on/off protective gene expressions when necessary. This system uses the oxygen-dependent degradation domain derived from hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha as the hypoxia sensor and a double-vector system as signal amplifier. For treating ischemic heart diseases, a cardiac-specific MLC-2v promoter is used to deliver transgenes specifically to the heart. When tested in cardiomyocyte cultures, it produced a rapid and robust gene induction upon exposure to low oxygen. In a mouse model for myocardial infarction, the vigilant vectors turned on therapeutic genes such as heme oxygenase-1 in response to ischemia, significantly reduced apoptosis in the infarct area and improved cardiac functions. The hypoxia-regulated gene transfer afforded by the vigilant vectors may provide a powerful tool for delivering therapeutic proteins specifically to ischemic tissues with optimal physiological control.
