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

ATP release from erythrocytes in response to low oxygen tension requires an increase in cAMP, the level of which is regulated by phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3). Such release is defective in erythrocytes of humans with type 2 diabetes (DM2). This study tested a hypothesis that direct delivery of the clinically useful PDE3 inhibitor, cilostazol, to erythrocytes of humans with type 2 diabetes using liposomes would restore low-oxygen tension-induced ATP release. Cilostazol was incorporated into liposomes prepared from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). Liposome-delivery of cilostazol restored ATP release from DM2 erythrocytes to levels which were not different from that released from non-cilostazol treated healthy erythrocytes under the same conditions. There were no observed adverse effects of the liposomes on either healthy or DM2 erythrocytes. The directed liposomal delivery of PDE inhibitors to erythrocytes may help prevent or slow the development of peripheral vascular disease in individuals with DM2 by restoring an important physiological controller of microvascular perfusion while minimizing side effects associated with systemic delivery of some of these inhibitors.
