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

Oxygen free radical activity is elevated in diabetes mellitus and has been implicated in the etiology of vascular complications. Recent studies have shown that impaired perfusion of nerve endoneurium is a major cause of nerve fiber dysfunction in experimental diabetes. Free radical scavenger treatment prevents the development of nerve conduction abnormalities in diabetic rats. In vitro experiments suggest that autoxidation reactions of glucose, catalyzed by free transition metal ions, are a potential source of free radicals in diabetes. We investigated whether chronic treatment with deferoxamine and trientine, transition metal chelating agents which can prevent autoxidation, could correct nerve conduction and blood flow changes in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. A 20% reduction in sciatic nerve motor conduction velocity after 2 mo diabetes was 90% ameliorated by 2 wk of treatment with deferoxamine or trientine. Sciatic endoneurial nutritive blood flow was 45% reduced by diabetes, but was completely corrected by treatment. In contrast, transition metal chelation had no effect on blood flow or conduction velocity in nondiabetic rats. Thus, the data support the hypothesis that increased free radical activity by glucose autoxidation as a result of impaired transition metal handling is a major cause of early neurovascular deficits in diabetes.
