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

AIMS/

introductionCell death-inducing DFF45-like effector C (CIDEC) was proven to be closely associated with the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate whether CIDEC gene silencing could alleviate pulmonary vascular remodeling in a type 2 diabetes rat model. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe built a type 2 diabetes rat model. An adenovirus harboring CIDEC small interfering ribonucleic acid was then injected into the jugular vein to silence the CIDEC gene. After hematoxylin-eosin and Sirius red staining, we detected indexes of the pulmonary arterioles remodeling. Immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen was used to evaluate the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Apoptosis was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling reaction and western blotting. The levels of signaling pathway proteins expression were measured by western blotting analyses.

resultsHistological analysis of the pulmonary artery showed that the thickness of the adventitia and medial layer increased notably in type 2 diabetes rats. Immunohistochemistry showed that more proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells could be seen in type 2 diabetes rats; and after CIDEC gene silencing, proliferating cell nuclear antigen positive cells decreased accordingly. Cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase measured by western blotting showed increased apoptosis with overexpressed CIDEC in diabetes. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling reaction showed that the apoptosis mainly occurred in endothelial cells. Western blotting analysis showed CIDEC overexpression in rats with diabetes, and phosphorylated adenosine 5' monophosphate-activated protein kinase-α expression was significantly decreased. After CIDEC gene silencing, the expression of phosphorylated adenosine 5' monophosphate-activated protein kinase-α was upregulated.

conclusionsThe CIDEC/5' monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway could be a potential therapeutic candidate against pulmonary vascular diseases in type 2 diabetes patients.
