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 pulmonary vascular remodeling (HPSR) has an important role in the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. HPSR is predominantly mediated by the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Our previous study demonstrated that hypoxia‑inducible factor (HIF)‑1α was able to promote the proliferation of PASMCs. Small ubiquitin‑like modifier (SUMO)ylation is a post‑translational modification that is important in various cellular processes. It has previously been demonstrated that HIF‑1α may be SUMOylated by SUMO. Conversely, SUMO‑specific protease 1 (SENP‑1) was able to increase the stability of HIF‑1α by decreasing SUMOylation of HIF‑1α. In order to investigate whether SUMOylation of HIF‑1α has a role in the proliferation of PASMCs, the present study cultured PASMCs in hypoxic and normoxic chambers in vitro. The proliferation ability of PASMCs was measured using the Cell Counting kit‑8 and 5‑ethynyl‑2'‑deoxyuridine cell proliferation assays. In addition, short hairpin RNA lentiviral particles were used to knockdown the expression of SENP‑1, and the expression levels of HIF‑1α, SENP‑1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected at the mRNA and protein levels using semi‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. The present study demonstrated that SENP‑1 was able to enhance the proliferative ability of PASMCs by initiating deSUMOylation of HIF‑1α and increasing the expression of its downstream responsive gene, VEGF.
