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

Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is characterized by sustained pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling caused by chronic hypoxia. The vicious cycle between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst release plays a central role in disease progression. P-selectin is overexpressed on hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and pulmonary smooth muscle cells. Fucoidan (Fuco) is a high-affinity ligand for P-selectin. Based on this, a hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular targeting drug delivery system siHIF-1α/PSS31@Fuco (HPF) was developed. HPF was able to target for hypoxia-injured pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and pulmonary smooth muscle cells via the P-selectin, then HPF was taken up by those cells via caveolin-1-dependent endocytosis. Subsequently, the ROS-triggered depolymerization of PSS31 ensured efficient cytosolic release of siHIF-1α and SS31 to efficiently inhibit the expression of HIF-1α and the production of ROS, respectively. In HPH rats, HPF alleviated pulmonary vascular remodeling and improved the hemodynamics and right ventricular function by breaking the vicious cycle between HIF-1α activation and ROS production. Therefore, HPF is a promising nanotherapeutic strategy for HPH.
