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

The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia. Its levels and activity are controlled by dioxygenases called prolyl-hydroxylases and factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). To activate genes, HIF has to access sequences in DNA that are integrated in chromatin. It is known that the chromatin-remodeling complex switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) is essential for HIF activity. However, no additional information exists about the role of other chromatin-remodeling enzymes in hypoxia. Here we describe the role of imitation switch (ISWI) in the cellular response to hypoxia. We find that unlike SWI/SNF, ISWI depletion enhances HIF activity without altering its levels. Furthermore, ISWI knockdown only alters a subset of HIF target genes. Mechanistically, we find that ISWI is required for full expression of FIH mRNA and protein levels by changing RNA polymerase II loading to the FIH promoter. Of interest, exogenous FIH can rescue the ISWI-mediated upregulation of CA9 but not BNIP3, suggesting that FIH-independent mechanisms are also involved. Of importance, ISWI depletion alters the cellular response to hypoxia by reducing autophagy and increasing apoptosis. These results demonstrate a novel role for ISWI as a survival factor during the cellular response to hypoxia.
