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

The aim of this study was to observe modifications occurring within the blood vessels of pancreatic islets in low-dose streptozocin (STZ)-treated mice. Forty-two male C57BL/6J mice were given 40 mg STZ on 5 consecutive days and killed 6 or 10 d after the first STZ injection. Immunocytochemistry revealed a dense accumulation of cells carrying the 7D10 epitope, related to macrophage inhibitor factor, arranged around the 'vascular pole' of the islets on d 6, and a small number of positive cells within the islets on d 10. Many Ia positive cells (equivalent to MHC class II antigen positive elements) were also found at the periphery of the islet. Ultrastructural observations showed the presence of monocytes within almost all the capillary vessels encircling the islets and entering them at the 'vascular pole' (d 6). On d 10 capillary lumina no longer contained marginating monocytes but activated macrophages were seen in the islet parenchyma.
