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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disease all over the world, while existing therapies can only ameliorate hyperglycemia or temporarily improve the response to insulin in target tissues, they cannot retard or improve the progressive β-cell dysfunction persistently. Combined therapy of stem cells and sitagliptin might resolve this problem, we verified this hypothesis in a diabetic rat model. Except ten Wistar rats in normal control group, diabetic rats were divided into diabetic control group, WJ-MSCs group, sitagliptin group and WJ-MSCs + sitagliptin group and received homologous therapy. Ten weeks after therapy, diabetic symptoms, FPG and GHbA1c in WJ-MSCs group, sitagliptin group and WJ-MSCs + sitagliptin group were significantly less than those in diabetic control group (P < 0.05), while fasting C-peptide and number of β cells in WJ-MSCs group and WJ-MSCs + sitagliptin group was significantly higher than those in diabetic control and sitagliptin group (P < 0.01). Glucagon and number of α cells in sitagliptin group and WJ-MSCs + sitagliptin group were significantly lower than those in WJ-MSCs group and diabetic control group (P < 0.01). No symptoms of rejection and toxic effect were observed. Combined therapy of WJ-MSCs and sitagliptin can effectively ameliorate hyperglycemia, promote regeneration of islet β cells and suppress generation of islet α cells in diabetic rats, presenting a new therapy for type 2 diabetes although the exact mechanisms are unclear.
