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

Mitochondria are responsible for the majority of oxygen consumption in cells, and thus represent a conceptually appealing site for cellular oxygen sensing. Over the past 40 years, a number of mechanisms to explain how mitochondria participate in oxygen sensing have been proposed. However, no consensus has been reached regarding how mitochondria could regulate transcriptional and post-translational responses to hypoxia. Nevertheless, a growing body of data continues to implicate a role for increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals from the electron transport chain (ETC) in triggering responses to hypoxia in diverse cell types. The present article reviews our progress in understanding this field and considers recent advances that provide new insight, helping to lift the fog from this complex topic.
