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

Previous studies in adult pulmonary hypertension reported that increased hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) signaling contributes to pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, alterations in endothelial HIF-1α signaling and its contribution to impaired angiogenesis in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) remain unclear. We investigated the hypothesis that HIF-1α levels are increased in lung endothelial cells in PPHN and contribute to impaired angiogenesis function. We examined HIF-1α expression and promoter activity in the isolated pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) from fetal lambs with or without PPHN induced by prenatal ductus arteriosus constriction. We measured the levels of HIF-1α downstream targets, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glycolytic protein, hexokinase 2 (Hek-2) in PAEC from PPHN, and control lambs. We examined the effect of small interfering-RNA (siRNA) mediated knockdown of native HIF-1α on VEGF expression and in vitro angiogenesis function of PPHN-PAEC. HIF-1α protein levels were higher in the isolated PAEC from PPHN-lambs compared to controls. HIF-1α promoter activity and Hek-2 protein levels were higher in PPHN. VEGF protein levels and in vitro angiogenesis function were decreased in PAEC from PPHN lambs. HIF-1α silencing significantly increased the expression of VEGF and improved the angiogenesis function of PPHN PAEC. Aberrant HIF-1α signaling contributes to endothelial dysfunction and decreased angiogenesis in PPHN.
