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

Investigations of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in diabetes have yielded contradictory results. It is possible that diabetes differentially affects paracellular and transcellular permeabilities via modulation of tight junction and transport proteins, respectively. Fluorescein (FL), a marker for paracellular permeability, is a substrate for the transport proteins organic anion transporter (OAT)-3 and multidrug resistance protein (MRP)-2 at the BBB. Furthermore, MRP-2-mediated efflux of FL can be upregulated by glucose. In this study, streptozotocin-induced diabetes led to decreased brain distribution of FL measured by in situ brain perfusion, consistent with activation of an efflux transport system for FL at the BBB. This change was paralleled by increased protein expression of MRP-2, but not OAT-3, in cerebral microvessels. These data indicate that diabetes may lead to changes in efflux transporters at the BBB and have implications for delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system.
