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

Diabetes is widely believed to predispose to serious infections. However, the mechanisms linking diabetes and immunosuppression are not well defined. One potential mediator of the altered defence mechanisms is hyperglycaemia. It has been identified as the main factor contributing to the development of diseases associated with diabetes mellitus. In this study we analyse the immune response in diabetes and the direct effect of hyperglycaemia on T and B lymphocyte reactivity. Diabetes induced an early decrease in IgG levels in the secondary response. However, both primary responses against a T-cell-dependent or independent antigen were affected after 6 months of diabetes induction. T- and B- cell proliferation was only decreased at this time. To gain insight into the potential mechanisms involved, we evaluated the influence of hyperglycaemia over the immune response. Pre-incubation of lymph node and spleen cells in a high glucose (HG) containing medium led to a significant time- and dose-dependent decrease in T- and B-cell proliferation. This effect was associated with the presence of HG-derived supernatants. Still viable cells after HG exposition were able to improve their proliferative response when cultured with the mitogen in a fresh standard medium. HG diminished cell viability, increased apoptosis and induced oxidative stress in lymphocytes. These results indicate that HG concentrations can directly affect lymphoid cell growth. An increase in oxidative stress would be implicated in this deleterious effect. The possibility that prolonged exposure to pathologically HG concentrations would result in the immunosuppressive state observed in diabetes is also discussed.
