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-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α promote cellular adaptation to acute hypoxia, but during prolonged activation, these isoforms exert mutually antagonistic effects on the redox state and on proinflammatory pathways. Sustained HIF-1α signaling can increase oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis, actions that are opposed by HIF-2α. Imbalances in the interplay between HIF-1α and HIF-2α may contribute to the progression of chronic heart failure, atherosclerotic and hypertensive vascular disorders, and chronic kidney disease. These disorders are characterized by activation of HIF-1α and suppression of HIF-2α, which are potentially related to mitochondrial and peroxisomal dysfunction and suppression of the redox sensor, sirtuin-1. Hypoxia mimetics can potentiate HIF-1α and/or HIF-2α; ideally, such agents should act preferentially to promote HIF-2α while exerting little effect on or acting to suppress HIF-1α. Selective activation of HIF-2α can be achieved with drugs that: 1) inhibit isoform-selective prolyl hydroxylases (e.g., cobalt chloride and roxadustat); or 2) promote the actions of the redox sensor, sirtuin-1 (e.g., sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors). Selective HIF-2α signaling through sirtuin-1 activation may explain the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors to simultaneously promote erythrocytosis and ameliorate the development of cardiomyopathy and nephropathy.
