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

The changes in amine concentrations in different segments of the rat tail artery have been investigated at different ages and after different durations of streptozotocin-induced diabetes. There was a significant positive slope to the relationship between amine concentrations and age in proximal portion of the normal tail artery, and a significant additional increase in amine concentrations following induction of diabetes. The peak of the latter response occurred between 10 and 20 weeks following the induction of diabetes. There was also a significant dependence on the length of the post-ganglionic neurones, which may be related to the failure of axonal transport of some of the essential enzymes or transporters for these biogenic amines. This model of altered catecholamine metabolism and handling requires further investigation so that alterations in the mechanisms involved in processing of these amines in diabetic autonomic neuropathy may be elucidated.
