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

aims/hypothesisDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) features intrarenal inflammation, in which T cells play a part. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a key transcription factor regulating cellular responses to hypoxia, is reportedly involved in the course of inflammation. The role of HIF-1α in DKD has been investigated, but the conclusions are controversial so far. We report a previously unrecognised high glucose/carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP)/Hif-1α transcription axis in CD4

methodsLck-Cre

resultsIn this study, we used Lck-Cre transgenic mice to specifically disrupt Hif-1α in T cells and found that ablation of Hif-1α greatly accelerated the progression of DKD in a streptozocin-induced model of diabetes. Adoptive transfer of splenic CD4 CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationOur study reveals a previously unrecognised high glucose/ChREBP/Hif-1α transcription axis in CD4
