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 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common multifactorial diseases and several membrane transporters are involved in its development, complications and treatment. We have recently developed a flow-cytometry assay panel for the quantitative determination of red cell membrane protein levels with potential relevance in diseases. Here we report a detailed phenotypic analysis of a medium scale, clinically based study on the expression of T2DM-related membrane proteins, the GLUT1, GLUT3, MCT1, URAT1, ABCA1, ABCG2 and the PMCA4 transporters in erythrocytes. By comparing age-matched control subjects and three groups of T2DM patients (recently diagnosed, successfully managed, and patients with disease-related complications), we found significant differences in the membrane expression levels of the transporters in these groups. This is a first detailed analysis of T2DM related alterations in erythrocyte membrane transporter protein levels, and the results suggest significant changes in some of the transporter expression levels in various patient groups. By performing a further, more detailed analysis of the clinical and molecular biology parameters, these data may serve as a basis of establishing new, personalized diagnostic markers helping the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.
