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

Diabetic macular edema is a major complication of diabetes resulting in loss of central vision. Although heightened vessel leakiness has been linked to glial and neuronal-derived factors, relatively little is known on the mechanisms by which mature endothelial cells exit from a quiescent state and compromise barrier function. Here we report that endothelial NOTCH1 signaling in mature diabetic retinas contributes to increased vascular permeability. By providing both human and mouse data, we show that NOTCH1 ligands JAGGED1 and DELTA LIKE-4 are up-regulated secondary to hyperglycemia and activate both canonical and rapid noncanonical NOTCH1 pathways that ultimately disrupt endothelial adherens junctions in diabetic retinas by causing dissociation of vascular endothelial-cadherin from β-catenin. We further demonstrate that neutralization of NOTCH1 ligands prevents diabetes-induced retinal edema. Collectively, these results identify a fundamental process in diabetes-mediated vascular permeability and provide translational rational for targeting the NOTCH pathway (primarily JAGGED1) in conditions characterized by compromised vascular barrier function.
