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/hypothesisDiabetes mellitus is associated with endothelial dysfunction in human arteries due to the release of superoxide anions (*O(2)(-)) that was found to occur predominantly in smooth muscle cells (SMC). This study was designed to elucidate the impact of high glucose concentration mediated radical production in SMC on EC. Pre-treatment of vascular SMC with increased D-glucose enhanced release of *O(2)(-).

methodsMicroscope-based analyses of intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration (fura-2), immunohistochemistry (f-actin) and tyrosine kinase activity were performed. Furthermore, RT-PCR and Western blots were carried out.

resultsInteraction of EC with SMC pre-exposed to high glucose concentration yielded changes in endothelial Ca(2+) signalling and polymerization of f-actin in a concentration-dependent and superoxide dismutase (SOD) sensitive manner. This interaction activated endothelial tyrosine kinase(s) but not NFkappaB and AP-1, while SOD prevented tyrosine kinase stimulation but facilitated NFkappaB and AP-1 activation. Erbstatin, herbimycin A and the src family specific kinase inhibitor PP-1 but not the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X prevented changes in endothelial Ca(2+) signalling and cytoskeleton organization induced by pre-exposure of SMC to high glucose concentration. Adenovirus-mediated expression of kinase-inactive c-src blunted the effect of pre-exposure of SMC to high glucose concentration on EC. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThese data suggest that SMC-derived *O(2)(-) alter endothelial cytoskeleton organization and Ca(2+) signalling via activation of c-src. The activation of c-src by SMC-derived radicals is a new concept of the mechanisms underlying vascular dysfunction in diabetes.
