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

objectiveTo investigate the expression level and potential mechanism of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

methodsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques were used to examine the protein expression of HIF-1α in paraffin-embedded myeloid tissues from 82 patients with MDS and 33 controls (patients with lymphoma that is not invading myeloid tissues). In addition, the associations between the protein expression of HIF-1α and clinical parameters were examined. To further investigate the significance of HIF-1α expression in MDS patients, the researchers not only extracted the data about HIF-1α expression from MDS-related microarrays but also analyzed the correlation between the level of HIF-1α expression and MDS. The microRNA (miRNA) targeting HIF-1α was predicted and verified with a dual luciferase experiment.

resultsImmunohistochemistry revealed that the positive expression rate of HIF-1α in the bone marrow of patients with MDS was 90.24%. This rate was remarkably higher than that of the controls (72.73%) and was statistically significant (P < .05), which indicated that HIF-1α was upregulated in the myeloid tissues of MDS patients. For the GSE2779, GSE18366, GSE41130, and GSE61853 microarrays, the average expression of HIF-1α in MDS patients was higher than in the controls. Particularly for the GSE18366 microarray, HIF-1α expression was considerably higher in MDS patients than in the controls (P < .05). It was predicted that miR-93-5p had a site for binding with HIF-1α, and a dual luciferase experiment confirmed that miR-93-5p could bind with HIF-1α.

conclusionThe upregulated expression of HIF-1α was examined in the myeloid tissues of MDS patients. The presence of HIF-1α (+) suggested an unsatisfactory prognosis for patients, which could assist in the diagnosis of MDS. In addition, miR-93-5p could bind to HIF-1α by targeting, showing its potential to be the target of HIF-1α in MDS.
