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-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) is a subunit of HIF-l and thought to be able to protect hypoxic cells from apoptosis or necrosis under ischemic and anoxic conditions. This study aimed to investigated whether recombinant adenovirus vector over-expressing HIF-lα could affect apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a rat spinal cord injury (SCI) model. A total of 60 male SD rats were divided into 4 groups: Sham, Control, Ad-Blank and Ad-HIF-1α groups. 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after surgery, the behavioral recovery was evaluated with BBB scales. Then, rats were sacrificed and the spinal cord was collected for detection of Bcl-2, Bax and VEGF expressions by immunohistochemistry. Results showed the Bcl-2, Bax, VEGF and HIF-lα expressions increased in animals with SCI, but the increase in Bcl-2, VEGF and HIF-lα expressions were higher in Ad-HIF-1α group when compared with other groups, but Bax expression decreased significantly. In addition, administration of Ad-HIF-1α significantly reduced apoptotic cells and promoted the recovery of neurological function. In conclusion, administration of Ad-HIF-1α after SCI could ameliorate neuronal apoptosis and promote angiogenesis in rats. Our study provides a basis for further exploration of the relationship between HIF1α and SCI.
