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

Oxygen delivery to the retinal pigment epithelium and the outer retina is essential for metabolism, function, and survival of photoreceptors. Chronically reduced oxygen supply leads to retinal pathologies in patients and causes age-dependent retinal degeneration in mice. Hypoxia can result from decreased levels of inspired oxygen (normobaric hypoxia) or reduced barometric pressure (hypobaric hypoxia). Since the response of retinal cells to chronic normobaric or hypobaric hypoxia is mostly unknown, we examined the effect of six hypoxic conditions on the retinal transcriptome and photoreceptor morphology. Mice were exposed to short- and long-term normobaric hypoxia at 400 m or hypobaric hypoxia at 3450 m above sea level. Longitudinal studies over 11 weeks in normobaric hypoxia revealed four classes of genes that adapted differentially to the hypoxic condition. Seventeen genes were specifically regulated in hypobaric hypoxia and may affect the structural integrity of the retina, resulting in the shortening of photoreceptor segment length detected in various hypoxic groups. This study shows that retinal cells have the capacity to adapt to long-term hypoxia and that consequences of hypobaric hypoxia differ from those of normobaric hypoxia. Our datasets can be used as references to validate and compare retinal disease models associated with hypoxia.
