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 is a hallmark of all solid tumors and their metastases. This leads to activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) family of transcription factors, which modulate gene expression within both tumor cells and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, influencing tumor progression and treatment response. The best characterized HIF isoforms, HIF-1α and HIF-2α, show nonoverlapping and often antagonistic roles. With the recent availability of inhibitors that target one or both HIFs, including the first-in-class selective HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan, the prospect of HIF-α isoform-selective targeting is now a reality. Here, we summarize current knowledge on the unique contributions of the two HIF-α isoforms to tumor progression in the context of the complex tumor immune microenvironment, highlighting important considerations for therapy.
