Expression of HIF-1α and Robo4 in the retinas of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
purposeThis study investigated the expression of HIF-1α and Robo4 in the retinas of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mice and determined the expression correlation of these two factors in early diabetic retinas
methodsA high-fat diet together with STZ stimulated type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). HE staining was used to observe the morphologic features of the retinas following 4, or 8 weeks of hyperglycemia. Immunofluorescence was carried out to analyze the expression of HIF-1α and Robo4 in the retinas at different time points. HIF-1α and Robo4 mRNA and protein expressions were quantified by real-time PCR and western blot.
resultsThe arrangements of the retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) were slightly turbulent in the 4-week old diabetic mice, which became aggravated by NFL edema and cytoplasmic vacuoles in the 8-week old group. In the 4-week old group, HIF-1α was expressed slightly higher in NFL and GCL, and Robo4 expression increased in NFL and GCL. In the 8-week old diabetic retinas, HIF-1α expression was enhanced in NFL, GCL, and the outer plexiform layer (OPL); Robo4 expression increased apparently in NFL and GCL. HIF-1α and Robo4 mRNA and protein expressions were also increased slightly in the 1-week old retinas and significantly after 4 and 8 weeks.
conclusionsWith aggravating retina structure turbulence in DM mice, both HIF-1α and Robo4 expressions were increased and mainly concentrated in the GCL, INL, and OPL, suggesting a regulatory role of HIF-1α on Robo4 and their combined effect on DM retina damage
