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

It is well known that the local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is activated in the diabetic state, which results in an increase in the level of oxidative stress injury to pancreatic β cells. The angiotensin‑converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/angiotensin (1‑7) [Ang (1‑7)]/Mas axis is a negative regulator of the classical renin‑angiotensin system. In order to investigate the antioxidant effect of Ang (1‑7) on pancreatic β cells, INS‑1 cells were cultured and oxidative stress was induced by treatment with H2O2. Glucose‑stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and glucose-stimulated calcium (GSCa) responses in β cells were determined following treatment with Ang (1-7). It was observed that H2O2 significantly impaired the insulin secreting function, increased the production of ROS, and also decreased the levels of GSCa and MMP. Pre‑treatment with Ang (1‑7) alleviated these effects and treatment with A779 [antagonist of Ang (1‑7)] prevented the effects of Ang (1-7). Based on these findings, it was concluded that Ang (1‑7) can protect pancreatic β cells from oxidative injury and such protection can be blocked by its antagonist A779.
