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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAllitridin [diallyl trisulfide (DATS)] is an extract from garlic (Allium sativum) that putatively improves endothelial function and is protective against cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial dysfunction after tissue ischemia in diabetic patients is partially due to poor angiogenic response. This study investigated whether DATS may improve angiogenesis in a diabetic mouse model with hind limb ischemia.

methodsStreptozotocin was administered by intraperitoneal injection to establish the model of diabetes in male C57BL/6 mice. After 14 days, nondiabetic and diabetic mice (n = 24, each) underwent unilateral hind limb ischemia by femoral artery ligation. The mice were apportioned to 4 groups: nondiabetic treated (or not) with DATS and diabetic treated (or not) with DATS. DATS treatment consisted of a single daily intraperitoneal injection of 500 μg·kg·d for 14 days, beginning on the day of induced ischemia. Ischemia was scored by standard criteria. Blood perfusion was determined using thermal infrared imaging. Tissue capillary density and oxidative stress levels were measured by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, respectively. Serum lipids were measured by enzymatic colorimetric assay. Fasting serum insulin was detected using an insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Nitric oxide (NO) metabolites and protein carbonyls in tissues were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Targeted protein concentrations were measured by western blotting.

resultsAt 14 days after ligation, the ischemic skeletal muscle of the streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice had lower levels of endothelial NO synthase, phosphorylated endothelial NO synthase, and vascular endothelial growth factor compared with nondiabetic group. In addition, the hind limb blood perfusion, capillary density, and NO bioactivity were lower in the diabetic group, whereas oxidative stress and protein carbonyl levels were higher. These changes were ameliorated by DATS treatment.

conclusionsDATS treatment of diabetic mice promoted revascularization in ischemic tissue.
