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

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is caused by hyperoxic exposure of prematurely born infants. The mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) recapitulates pathological features of both phase I and phase II ROP. We here looked at the retinal proteins that change in response to hyperoxia in phase I of the mouse model of OIR. Using tandem mass tag labeled proteomics, we found several differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in phase I of OIR. Of all the DEPs, we investigated the role of previously unknown protein NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2). NDUFA4L2 protein and its paralog NDUFA4 are both mitochondrial complex I proteins; however, here we demonstrate that NDUFA4L2 changes in both phases of OIR, with no changes in its paralog NDUFA4, implying its unique function in pathophysiology of the disease. We demonstrate that NDUFA4L2 is an oxygen-sensitive protein and regulates retinal endothelial cell migration by rescuing isocitrate dehydrogenase flux impaired by hyperoxia in phase I of OIR.
