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

Endothelial dysfunction remains a cornerstone of diabetic vascular complications. RBCs emerge as pivotal players in endothelial dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this issue of the JCI, Collado et al. show that the detrimental action of RBCs on the endothelium is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs derived from RBCs (RBC-EVs) of patients with diabetes were taken up by the endothelium and were able to impair endothelium-dependent relaxation via an EV-mediated transfer of the prooxidant enzyme arginase-1 (Arg1) from RBCs to endothelial cells. These findings reveal events implicated in vascular oxidative stress and set the stage for personalized approaches preventing RBC-EVs' uptake by the endothelium.
