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

purposeThe aim of this study was to characterize a cell-based model for the molecular study of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α activity, in the context of hypoxia, by means of different imaging techniques. PROCEDURES: Engineered U251-HRE glioma cells were used to analyze the molecular mechanisms underlying HIF-1α activity in vitro in relation to luciferase expression. The same cells were orthotopically implanted in mice to evaluate tumor progression and hypoxia induction by bioluminescence imaging, fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

resultsIn vitro analyses highlighted the relationship between HIF-1α and luciferase activity in hypoxic conditions and after pharmacological treatments in U251-HRE cells. Through in vivo studies, it was possible to assess hypoxia establishment in relation to tumor growth by optical imaging, PET and MRI.

conclusionsThe findings of this study indicate that the U251-HRE orthotopic murine model can be used to reliably evaluate processes modulating HIF-1α activity, using both molecular and preclinical non-invasive imaging techniques.
