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

The morbidity and mortality of diabetes mellitus are mostly attributed to cardiovascular complications. Despite tremendous advancement in glycemic control, anti-diabetic medications have failed to revert vascular impairment once triggered by the metabolic disorder. The angiogenic growth factors, Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) and Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2), are crucial regulators of vessel formation and maintenance starting with embryonic development and continuing through life. In mature vessels, angiopoietins control vascular permeability, inflammation and remodeling. A crucial role of angiopoietins is to drive vascular inflammation from the active to the quiescent state, enabling restoration of tissue homeostasis. The mechanism is of particular importance for healing and repair after damage, two conditions typically impaired in metabolic disorders. There is an emerging body of evidences suggesting that the imbalance of Ang1 and Ang2 regulation, leading to an increased Ang2/Ang1 ratio, represents a culprit of the vascular alterations of patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Pharmacological modulation of Ang1 or Ang2 actions may help prevent or delay the onset of diabetic vascular complications by restoring vessel function, favoring tissue repair and maintaining endothelial quiescence. In this review, we present a summary of the role of Ang1 and Ang2, their involvement in diabetic complications, and novel therapeutic strategies targeting angiopoietins to ameliorate vascular health in metabolic disorders.
