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

background and purposeVasculopathies represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes. Vascular malfunctioning in diabetes is associated with abnormal vasoconstriction and Ca(2+) handling by smooth muscle cells (SMC). Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) are key mediators of insulin action and have been shown to modulate the function of voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channels (Ca(V) 1.2). In the present work, we investigated the involvement of PI3K signalling in regulating Ca(2+) current through Ca(V) 1.2 (I(Ca,L) ) and vascular dysfunction in a mouse model of type I diabetes. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Changes in isometric tension were recorded on myograph. Ca(2+) currents in freshly dissociated mice aortic SMCs were measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Antisense techniques were used to knock-down the PI3Kδ isoform. KEY RESULTS Contractile responses to phenylephrine and KCl were strongly enhanced in diabetic aorta independent of a functional endothelium. The magnitude of phenylephrine-induced I(Ca,L) was also greatly augmented. PI3Kδ expression, but not PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ, was increased in diabetic aortas and treatment of vessels with a selective PI3Kδ inhibitor normalized I(Ca,L) and contractile response of diabetic vessels. Moreover, knock-down of PI3Kδin vivo decreased PI3Kδ expression and normalized I(Ca,L) and contractile response of diabetic vessels ex vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase δ was essential to the increased vascular contractile response in our model of type I diabetes. PI3Kδ signalling was up-regulated and most likely accounted for the increased I(Ca,L,) leading to increased vascular contractility. Blockade of PI3Kδ may represent a novel therapeutic approach to treat vascular dysfunction in diabetic patients.
