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-inducible factors (HIFs) are essential transcription factors that orchestrate cellular responses to oxygen deprivation. HIF-1α, as an unstable subunit of HIF-1, is usually hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase domain enzymes under normoxic conditions, leading to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby keeping low levels. Instead of hypoxia, sometimes even in normoxia, HIF-1α translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes with HIF-1β to generate HIF-1, and then activates genes involved in adaptive responses such as angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming, and cellular survival, which presents new challenges and insights into its role in cellular processes. Thus, the review delves into the mechanisms by which HIF-1 maintains its stability under normoxia including but not limited to giving insights into transcriptional, translational, as well as posttranslational regulation to underscore the pivotal role of HIF-1 in cellular adaptation and malignancy. Moreover, HIF-1 is extensively involved in cancer and cardiovascular diseases and potentially serves as a bridge between them. An overview of HIF-1-related drugs that are approved or in clinical trials is summarized, highlighting their potential capacity for targeting HIF-1 in cancer and cardiovascular toxicity related to cancer treatment. The review provides a comprehensive insight into HIF-1's regulatory mechanism and paves the way for future research and therapeutic development.
