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

Cells must know the local levels of available oxygen and either adapt accordingly or relocate to more favorable environments. Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) are emerging as universal cellular oxygen sensors. In animals, these oxygen sensors respond to decreased oxygen availability by up-regulating hypoxia-inducible transcription factors. In protozoa, the P4Hs appear to activate E3-SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes via a glycosylation-dependent mechanism, potentially to turn over their proteomes. Intracellular parasites are impacted by both types of oxygen-sensing pathways. Since parasites are exposed to diverse oxygen tensions during their life cycles, this review identifies emerging oxygen-sensing mechanisms and discusses how these mechanisms probably contribute to the regulation of unicellular eukaryotes.
