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

Septin4, a protein localized at mitochondrion, can promote cells apoptosis mainly by binding XIAP (X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis), however, nothing is known about the role and mechanism of Septin4 in cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Here in the current study, we report that HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha) is a novel interacting protein with Septin4 at Septin4-GTPase domain. In addition, Septin4 enhances the binding between HIF-1α and the E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL (von Hippel-Lindau protein) to down-regulate HIF-1α, and by reducing cardio-protective factor HIF-1α levels, Septin4 aggravated the hypoxia-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis. We believe these findings will be beneficial to provide effective strategies for clinical treatment of myocardial ischemia and the subsequent injury caused by myocardial hypoxia.
