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

backgroundDespite the effective maintenance of glucose homeostasis by insulin in type 1 diabetes mellitus, the drug has been implicated as one of the causes of haematological disturbances, which give rise to cardiovascular complications. As a result, research into alternative therapies for diabetes is needed. In our laboratory, an anti-hyperglycaemic novel vanadium complex has been synthesized using organic heterocyclic ligands. The complex has been shown and improve glycaemic control. The effects of this complex on haematological function, however, have not yet been established. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the haematological effects of dioxidovanadium(V) complex in (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

methodsDiabetic rats received vanadium complex (40 mg kg

resultsAfter 5 weeks, untreated diabetic rats presented with hyperglycaemia compared to non-diabetic rats which was attenuated by vanadium complex administration. Furthermore, vanadium treated groups presented with an augmented RBC count, haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, MCHC, MCV, and (EPO) levels compared to diabetic control. An increase in annexin V expression hence cell survival was observed in vanadium complex treated rats. Lastly, the administration of the complex improved antioxidant status as evidenced by increases in SOD and GPx concentration in plasma and in the kidneys.

conclusionThe administration of the anti-hyperglycaemic dioxidovanadium(V) complex improved haematological parameters, cell survival and the antioxidant status displayed by the diabetic rats. These results give an indication that the complex might be an effective alternative therapeutic drug for the treatment of hyperglycaemia in DM.
