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/hypothesisWe have examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes on the expression and subcellular distribution of the classic sugar transporters (GLUT-1 to 5 and sodium-dependent glucose transporter-1 [SGLT-1]) in the endothelial cells of an en face preparation of septal coronary artery from Wistar rats.

methodsThe presence of the GLUT isoforms and SGLT-1 in the endothelial cell layer was determined by immunohistochemistry using wide-field fluorescence microscopy coupled to deconvolution, and was quantified by digital image analysis.

resultsWe found that all of the transporters were expressed within these cells and that all except SGLT-1 were preferentially located on the abluminal side. The heaviest labelling was adjacent to the cell-to-cell junctions where the luminal and abluminal membranes are in close proximity, which may reflect a spatial organisation specialised for vectorial glucose transport across the thinnest part of the cytoplasm. Long-term hyperglycaemia, induced by streptozotocin, significantly downregulated GLUT-1, 3, 4 and 5 and dramatically upregulated GLUT-2, leaving SGLT-1 unchanged. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationWe conclude that the high susceptibility of endothelial cells to glucose toxicity may be the result of the subcellular organisation of their GLUTs and the increased expression of GLUT-2.
