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

Inflammation and hypoxia are hallmarks of inflammatory bowel disease. Low oxygen levels activate hypoxia-inducible factors as central transcriptional regulators of cellular responses to hypoxia, particularly in myeloid cells where hypoxia-inducible factors control immune cell function and survival. Still, the role of myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1 during inflammatory bowel disease remains poorly defined. We therefore investigated the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 for myeloid cell function and immune response during colitis. Experimental colitis was induced by administration of 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium to mice with a conditional knockout of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in myeloid cells and their wild type siblings. Murine colon tissue was examined by histologic analysis, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Induction of experimental colitis increased levels of hypoxia and accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α positive cells in colon tissue of both treated groups. Myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1α knockout reduced weight loss and disease activity index when compared to wild type mice. Knockout mice displayed less infiltration of macrophages into intestinal mucosa and reduced mRNA expression of markers for dendritic cells and interleukin-17 secreting T helper cells. Expression of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines also showed a reduced and delayed induction in myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1α knockout mice. Our results show a disease promoting role of myeloid hypoxia-inducible factor-1 during intestinal inflammation. This might result from a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 dependent increase in pro-inflammatory interleukin-17 secreting T helper cells in the absence of obvious changes in regulatory T cells. In contrast, knockout mice appear to shift the balance to anti-inflammatory signals and cells resulting in milder intestinal inflammation.
