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

Background/purpose: Diabetes, which is a systemic disease, increases susceptibility to destructive periodontal diseases, which are characterized by infectious susceptibility, but the potential mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of high glucose environment promoting the occurrence and development of local periodontal inflammation. Materials and methods: In this study, the effects of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) on macrophage polarization and the mechanism were designed to verify whether this course plays a role in periodontal tissue impairment associated with diabetes. Here, we examined the impact of NETs on macrophages in vitro. NETs were isolated from cultures of neutrophils exposed to hyperglycemia. Mouse models of diabetic periodontitis (DP) and macrophage polarization were developed, and the degrees of NET formation in the periodontal tissue of DP mice were assessed. Furthermore, western blotting was performed to analyze the related mechanisms. Results: The results revealed that hyperglycemia induced the formation of NETs, and abundant NET formation led to proinflammatory cytokine secretion by macrophages and low expression of JAK-2 and STAT-3 in vitro and in vivo. NETs regulated macrophage polarization through the JAK/STAT pathway. Conclusion: These results suggest that NETs target proinflammatory cytokine secretion via the JAK/STAT pathway and may play important roles in DP progression and macrophage polarization, which indicates that therapeutically referring to this regulatory pathway might be a promising method for treating diabetes-associated inflammatory diseases.
