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

backgroundRecent clinical and animal studies have shown that renal denervation (RDN) improves insulin sensitivity and endothelial dysfunction. However, the specific mechanism remains incompletely understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of RDN on endothelial dysfunction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T

methodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with or without high-fat diet allocated in different groups, combined with low-dose streptozotocin which induces a rat model to develop T

resultsRDN decreased plasma and renal tissue norepinephrine levels. The Von Willebrand factor level was also decreased, while the plasma level of nitric oxide (NO) was significantly increased after RDN. Compared with the T

conclusionsRDN may not only increase the expression of ACE2 in the vascular endothelium, but also can via ACE2 activate p-AMPK and inhibit p-mTOR, thus promoting autophagy and improving endothelial dysfunction.
