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

objectivesTo conduct a pilot study to investigate functional, metabolic, and penile morphologic changes in a novel model of lean DM2. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a frequent sequela in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).

methodsEight rats received a high-fat diet and 2 weeks later, 2 intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg). Five age-matched rats served as controls. Insulin challenge tests were performed at 6 and 12 weeks after induction of DM2. At 12 weeks, erectile function was tested by measurement of intracavernous pressure (ICP) increase upon cavernous nerve stimulation. Penile tissue and serum samples were harvested for histology and biochemistry, respectively.

resultsA lean DM2 model was established as demonstrated by decreased insulin resistance, elevated nonfasting plasma glucose levels, hyperlipidemia, and decreased insulin concentration in the absence of obesity. ICP/mean arterial pressure was significantly decreased in DM2 animals (0.29) compared with controls (0.81). Expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase and rat endothelial cell antigen-1, and the smooth muscle/collagen ratio were significantly decreased in the penis of DM2 animals.

conclusionsWe propose an inexpensive nongenetic animal model of lean DM2-associated ED. Microanatomical changes in the erectile tissue that reflect an advanced stage of the disease were observed.
