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

Binding, uptake and degradation of 125I-labeled normal very low density lipoprotein (125I-n-VLDL) from normal swine plasma and 125I-labeled beta-migrating VLDL (125I-beta-VLDL) from hypercholesterolemic rabbit plasma by peritoneal macrophages of mice rendered insulin-deficient by streptozotocin (250 mg/kg) were studied. It was found that the amount of binding, uptake and degradation of 125I-n-VLDL by macrophages from the diabetic mice was 2-fold or 2.5-fold higher than by macrophages from normal mice, resulting from an increase in the binding capacity of VLDL receptors on the macrophages from the insulin-deficient rodents. In contrast, the binding, uptake and degradation of 125I-beta-VLDL by macrophages from diabetic mice were reduced to only about 45% of normal levels because of a decrease in the number and affinity of the receptors for beta-VLDL. These experimental results indicate that n-VLDL is more important than beta-VLDL in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in insulin-dependent diabetes.
