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

aimTo explore the state of autophagy and related mechanisms in the murine retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMECs) under hypoxia stimulation.

methodsThe murine RMECs were primarily cultured and randomly divided into three groups: hypoxia group (cultured in 1% O

resultsPrimary murine RMECs were successfully cultured. Under hypoxic conditions, the ratio of LC3BB-II/I and the expression of Beclin-1, Atg3 and Atg5 proteins were increased when compared with the control group. In addition, the numbers of autophagosome and the GFP+ puncta were also increased under hypoxia. However, pre-treatment with 3-MA obviously attenuated these changes in autophagy in RMECs under hypoxia. Protein expression of P-Akt and P-AMPK was increased but P-mTOR level was decreased in cells exposed to hypoxia.

conclusionIn murine RMECs autophagy is activated under hypoxia possibly through activation of the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.
