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

objectiveQuantitative measures are needed to identify diabetic patients at higher risk for CV events. Cell-derived microparticles (MPs) are submicron membrane vesicles released from activated cells that are indicative of cell damage. Progenitor cells (PCs) including proangiogenic cells (PACs), often termed endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), are mediators of reparative capacity. We examined whether the relationship of MPs to PCs/PACs could be used as an improved and clinically feasible index of vascular pathology. METHODS AND

resultsPlasma samples were collected from patients with early-stage (ES, Diagnosis < 1 year) and long-term (LT, Diagnosis > 5 years,) Type 2 diabetes and compared with age related healthy subjects (H). PC and MP subtypes were measured by a combination of flow cytometry and ELISA-based methods. The ratio of procoagulant MPs/CD34(+) PCs proved a valuable index to distinguish between subject groups (P = 0.01). This index of compromised vascular function was highest in the LT group despite intensive statin therapy and was more informative than a range of soluble protein biomarkers.

conclusionsThis is the first report of a relationship between MPs and PCs in Type 2 diabetes. This ratio may provide a quantitative and clinically feasible measurement of vascular dysfunction and cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes. © 2010 International Clinical Cytometry Society.
