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

Hypoxia‑induced apoptosis occurs in various diseases. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) is a hypoxia mimic agent that is frequently used in studies investigating the mechanisms of hypoxia. Nuclear respiratory factor‑1 (NRF‑1) is a transcription factor with an important role in the expression of mitochondrial respiratory and mitochondria‑associated genes. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of NRF‑1 on apoptosis, particularly with regard to damage caused by CoCl2. In the present study, the role of NRF‑1 in mediating CoCl2‑induced apoptosis was investigated using cell viability analysis, flow cytometry, fluorescence imaging, western blotting analysis, energy metabolism analysis and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The present results revealed that the apoptosis caused by CoCl2 could be alleviated by NRF‑1. Furthermore, overexpression of NRF‑1 increased the expression of B‑cell lymphoma‑2, hypoxia inducible factor‑1α and NRF‑2. Also, cell damage induced by CoCl2 may be associated with depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, and NRF‑1 suppressed this effect. Notably, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was reduced in CoCl2‑treated cells, whereas overexpression of NRF‑1 enhanced the OCR, suggesting that NRF‑1 had protective effects. In summary, the present study demonstrated that NRF‑1 protected against CoCl2‑induced apoptosis, potentially by strengthening mitochondrial function to resist CoCl2‑induced damage to H9C2 cells. The results of the present study provide a possible way for the investigation of myocardial diseases.
