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

Hypoxic injury is a key pathological event in a variety of diseases. Despite the clinical importance of hypoxia, modulation of hypoxic injury mechanisms for therapeutic benefit has not been achieved, suggesting that critical features of hypoxic injury have not been identified or fully understood. Because mitochondria are the main respiratory organelles of the cell, they have been the focus of much research into hypoxic injury. Previous research has focused on mitochondria as effectors of hypoxic injury, primarily in the context of apoptosis activation and calcium regulation; however, little is known about how mitochondria themselves are injured by hypoxia. Maintenance of protein folding is essential for normal mitochondrial function, whereas failure to maintain protein homeostasis (proteostasis) appears to be a component of aging and a variety of diseases. Previously, it has been demonstrated that mitochondria possess their own unfolded protein response that is activated in response to mitochondrial protein folding stress, a response that is best understood in C. elegans. Because hypoxia has been shown to disrupt ATP production and translation of nuclear encoded proteins--both of which are shown to disrupt mitochondrial proteostasis in other contexts-we hypothesized that failure to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis may play a role in hypoxic injury. Utilizing C. elegans models of global, focal, and cell non-autonomous hypoxic injury, we have found evidence of mitochondrial protein misfolding post-hypoxia and have found that manipulation of the mitochondrial protein folding environment is an effective hypoxia protective strategy.
