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

The brain needs sufficient oxygen in order to function normally. This is achieved by a large vascular capillary network ensuring that oxygen supply meets the changing demand of the brain tissue, especially in situations of hypoxia. Brain capillaries are formed by endothelial cells and perivascular pericytes, whereby pericytes in the brain have a particularly high 1:1 ratio to endothelial cells. Pericytes not only have a key location at the blood/brain interface, they also have multiple functions, for example, they maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, play an important role in angiogenesis and have large secretory abilities. This review is specifically focused on both the cellular and the molecular responses of brain pericytes to hypoxia. We discuss the immediate early molecular responses in pericytes, highlighting four transcription factors involved in regulating the majority of transcripts that change between hypoxic and normoxic pericytes and their potential functions. Whilst many hypoxic responses are controlled by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), we specifically focus on the role and functional implications of the regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) in pericytes, a hypoxia-sensing protein that is regulated independently of HIF. Finally, we describe potential molecular targets of RGS5 in pericytes. These molecular events together contribute to the pericyte response to hypoxia, regulating survival, metabolism, inflammation and induction of angiogenesis.
