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

Type 1 diabetes is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease characterized by pancreatic beta cells destruction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a component of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been identified in pancreas from type 2 diabetic mice and its overexpression prevents beta cell dysfunction. We studied the effect of ACE2 deletion on pancreatic and renal function in the nonobese diabetic mice, a model that mimics type 1 diabetes. ACE2-deficient NOD mice and the respective controls were generated. Pancreas function and immunohistochemistry studies were performed. Renal function and RAS gene expression were also analyzed. Renal proximal tubular cells were obtained from these animals to dissect the effect of ACE2 deficiency in these cells. In NOD mice, ACE2 deletion significantly worsened glucose homeostasis, decreased islet insulin content, increased beta cell oxidative stress, and RIPK1-positive islets as compared with control mice. Angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) were also increased in ACE2-deficient mice. In kidneys of 30-day diabetic mice, ACE2 deletion decreased podocyte number within the glomeruli, and altered renal RAS gene expression in tubules. ACE2 deletion influenced the expression of fibrosis-related genes in isolated primary renal proximal tubular cells before diabetes onset in NOD mice. Our findings suggest that ACE2 deletion may have a deleterious impact on beta cell and renal function, by promoting oxidative stress and increasing necroptosis mediators. In addition, this effect is accompanied by RAS alterations in both pancreas and renal proximal tubular cells, indicating that ACE2 may exert a renopancreatic protective effect on type 1 diabetes, which is activated before diabetes starts.
