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

aimsAbnormalities in the secretion of insulin are the cause of pathology and complications in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-diabetic effect of polysaccharide extracts from the split gill mushroom in type 2 diabetes rats administered a low dose of streptozotocin (STZ) in combination with a high-fat diet.

methodsThe rats were divided into 6 groups: the control group (ND), the control group fed with polysaccharide extract from split gill (ND240), the diabetes group (HFD+DM), the diabetic group fed 120 (HFD+S120) and 240 mg/kg BW polysaccharide extract (HFD+S240), and the diabetic group receiving metformin (HFD+Met). Subsequently, the Islets of Langerhans of pancreatic tissue were studied using a light microscope and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Immunofluorescence for the detection of insulin and glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) proteins, and malondialdehyde (MDA) were also detected in pancreatic tissue.

resultsIn the diabetic and HFD+120 groups, the tissues harbored various pathologies. The HFD+S240 and HFD+Met groups were found to have lower blood sugar levels. The levels of insulin and GLUT2 increased compared with the diabetic group. Additionally, the levels of MDA were reduced.

conclusionsThe use of polysaccharide extract from split gill mushrooms (240 mg/kg BW) is an alternative to treating various pathologies in the relief or treatment of diabetes mellitus.
