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

unlabelledDiabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with abnormalities in glucose metabolism. We evaluated myocardial glucose metabolism in a rodent model of type 2 diabetes, namely the Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat, and validated PET measurements of glucose uptake against gene and protein expression of glucose transporters (GLUTs).

methodsSix lean and ZDF rats underwent small-animal PET at the age of 14 wk and at the age of 19 wk. The imaging protocol consisted of a 60-min dynamic acquisition with 18F-FDG (18.5-29.6 MBq). Dynamic images were reconstructed using filtered backprojection with a 2.5 zoom on the heart and 40 frames per imaging session. PET measurements of myocardial glucose uptake (MGUp) rate and utilization were determined with an input function derived by the hybrid image-blood-sampling algorithm on recovery-corrected anterolateral myocardial regions of interest. After the PET session at week 19 (W19), hearts were extracted for gene and protein expression analysis of GLUT-1 and GLUT-4. The dependence of MGUp on gene expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 was characterized by multiple-regression analysis.

resultsMGUp in ZDF rats at both week 14 (W14) and W19 (P < 0.006) was significantly lower than MGUp in lean littermate control rats. Moreover, lean rats at W19 displayed significantly higher MGUp than they did at W14 (P = 0.007). Consistent with a diminished MGUp result, gene expression of GLUT-4 was significantly (P = 0.004) lower in ZDF rats. Finally, MGUp significantly (P = 0.0003) correlated with gene expression of GLUT-4.

conclusionUsing small-animal PET, we confirmed alterations in myocardial glucose utilization and validated PET measurement of MGUp against gene and protein expression of GLUTs in the diabetic heart of an animal model of type 2 diabetes.
