Effect of cilostazol on experimental diabetic neuropathy in the rat.
Article in Diabetologia, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Two proposed mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy are microvascular ischaemia and a reduction in Na,K-ATPase activity. We evaluated the effect of cilostazol, a drug that is both a potent phosphodiesterase inhibitor that normalizes nerve Na,K-AT-Pase and a vasodilator, on nerve blood flow (NBF) to determine whether it would improve experimental diabetic neuropathy. We examined whether epineurally applied cilostazol acted as a vasodilator on the peripheral nerve of normal and diabetic rats, and whether feeding the rats a cilostazol-supplemented diet could improve diabetic neuropathy. Cilostazol increased nerve blood flow (NBF) in a dose-dependent fashion with an EC50 of 10(-5.74) mol/l. Cilostazol also normalized NBF in experimental diabetic neuropathy with a 10(-4) mol/l local application on the sciatic nerve. In diabetic neuropathy, a cilostazol-supplemented diet improved both NBF and nerve conduction in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Potential mechanisms of action of cilostazol on the nerve include its effect on NBF, Na, K-ATPase, and restoration of the thromboxane:prostacyclin ratio. Cilostazol may have potential in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
