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

Diabetes mellitus can cause impaired and delayed wound healing, leading to lower extremity amputations; however, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-dependent (VEGF-dependent) angiogenesis remain unclear. In our study, the molecular underpinnings of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes are investigated, focusing on the roles of disabled-2 (Dab2) and Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) in VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling and endothelial cell function. Bulk RNA-sequencing analysis identified significant downregulation of Dab2 in high-glucose-treated primary mouse skin endothelial cells. In diabetic mice with endothelial deficiency of Dab2, in vivo and in vitro angiogenesis and wound healing were reduced when compared with wild-type diabetic mice. Restoration of Dab2 expression by injected mRNA-containing, LyP-1-conjugated lipid nanoparticles rescued impaired angiogenesis and wound healing in diabetic mice. Furthermore, FOXM1 was downregulated in skin endothelial cells under high-glucose conditions as determined by RNA-sequencing analysis. FOXM1 was found to bind to the Dab2 promoter, regulating its expression and influencing VEGFR2 signaling. The FOXM1 inhibitor FDI-6 reduced Dab2 expression and phosphorylation of VEGFR2. Our study provides evidence of the crucial roles of Dab2 and FOXM1 in diabetic endothelial dysfunction and establishes targeted delivery as a promising treatment for diabetic vascular complications.
