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

1. Noradrenaline sensitivity and relaxation to acetylcholine were investigated in the isolated perfused mesentery and in aortic rings of control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced (50 mg kg-1) diabetic Charles River rats. 2. In addition, noradrenaline sensitivity and acetylcholine relaxation were similarly assessed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated from the time of onset of diabetes with the aldose reductase inhibitor, ponalrestat (100 mg kg-1 day-1). 3. The untreated diabetic rats (2-10 weeks after injection of STZ) demonstrated enhanced vascular sensitivity to noradrenaline in the perfused mesenteric arterial tree, compared with age matched controls (pEC50 [-log concentration (M)]: diabetic 5.62 +/- 0.09, n = 18, versus control 5.23 +/- 0.07, n = 16, P < 0.01). 4. Acetylcholine-induced relaxation was significantly impaired in the perfused mesentery of the diabetic animals compared to controls (pED50 [-log dose (mol)]: diabetic 9.87 +/- 0.10, n = 20, versus controls, 10.29 +/- 0.09, n = 20, P < 0.05). 5. In contrast, the aortic ring preparations demonstrated no significant functional differences between the diabetic and control groups in response to either noradrenaline (pEC50: diabetic 7.66 +/- 0.08, n = 15, versus controls 7.55 +/- 0.06, n = 15, NS), or acetylcholine (pEC50: diabetics 7.30 +/- 0.06, n = 15, versus controls 7.40 +/- 0.09, n = 15, NS). 6. Treatment with the aldose reductase inhibitor, ponalrestat, did not affect the increased vascular reactivity to noradrenaline, or impaired relaxation to acetylcholine in the perfused mesentery.
