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

introductionOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disease in which the blood supply of the femoral head is interrupted or damaged, resulting in joint dysfunction. Hypoxic environments increase the expression of EPO, VEGF, and HIF causes vascular proliferation and increases the blood supply. It also causes the organism to be in a state of hypercoagulability and increases thrombosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the occurrence of ONFH after the use of glucocorticoids (GCs) under conditions of hypoxia tolerance for a long time. MATERIALS AND

methodsSprague-Dawley rats were fed in a hypobaric hypoxic chamber at an altitude of 4000 m, the whole blood viscosity, and plasma viscosity were determined to analyze the blood flow and hemagglutination. Western blotting, polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect EPO, VEGF, CD31, and osteogenesis related proteins. Femoral head angiography was used to examine the local blood supply and micro-CT scanning was used to detect the structure of the bone trabecula.

resultsUnder hypoxic environments, the expression of EPO and VEGF increased, which increased the local blood supply of the femoral head, but due to more severe thrombosis, the local blood supply of the femoral head decreased.

conclusionsHypoxic environments can aggravate ONFH in SD rats; this aggravation may be related to the hypercoagulable state of the blood. We suggest that long-term hypoxia should be regarded as one of the risk factors of ONFH and we need to conduct a more extensive epidemiological investigation on the occurrence of ONFH in hypoxic populations.
