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

backgroundDiabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia that leads to systemic vascular complications. Hyperglycemia impairs endothelial function and promotes vascular inflammation, resulting in leukocytosis, altered hematopoiesis, and cardiovascular complications. Bone marrow endothelial cells play a pivotal role in regulating myeloid progenitor cells and leukocyte trafficking. However, the effects of diabetes on the structure and function of bone marrow vasculature remain poorly understood. To address this, we used a multiscale imaging approach integrating intravital microscopy, dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and multispectral optoacoustic tomography to investigate diabetes-induced vascular changes in the bone marrow.

methodsDiabetes was induced in C57BL/6J female mice using streptozotocin. Flow cytometry and histology characterized bone marrow myeloid progenitors, blood leukocytes, and bone marrow endothelial cell populations, as well as hypoxia. Intravital microscopy was used to visualize vascular density, permeability, and sprouting angiogenesis in the calvarial marrow. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging quantified vascular density and permeability in the femoral marrow, while multispectral optoacoustic tomography assessed hemoglobin oxygenation in the calvarial marrow.

resultsHyperglycemia significantly increased myelopoiesis, leading to elevated leukocytosis driving diabetic inflammation. Flow cytometry and histology revealed increased bone marrow endothelial cell numbers (

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that diabetes induces profound vascular remodeling and hypoxia in the bone marrow, reshaping the hematopoietic niche and driving myelopoiesis and leukocytosis. By validating dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and multispectral optoacoustic tomography as noninvasive translational tools, coupled with intravital microscopy, we provide a comprehensive framework for exploring novel therapies targeting bone marrow vasculature to mitigate inflammation-driven outcomes in diabetes.
