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.

Abstract

purposeThis study investigates the possible effect and central mechanism of novel antidiabetic medication sodium glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2i) on the cardiovascular activity. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty-four normal male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 2 groups to receive single Dapagliflozin (1.52mg/kg) dose via intragastric gavage or a comparable dose of saline. Glycemic level (BG), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measured 2 hours after administration of the respective treatments. Immunohistochemical tests were performed to determine the effect of SGLT-2i on neural localization of SGLT-2 and c-Fos, a neural activator. The distributional relationships of SGLT-2 and c-Fos were examined by immunofluorescence.

resultsAdministration of SGLT-2i significantly decreased BP but did not affect the HR. There was no difference in BG between the two groups. Results showed that SGLT-2 was localized to specific regions involved in autonomic control. Expression of c-Fos was significantly higher in major critical nuclei in the aforementioned regions in groups treated with Dapagliflozin.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that SGLT-2 is expressed in CNS tissues involved in autonomic control and possibly influence cardiovascular function. Dapagliflozin influences central autonomic activity via unidentified pathways by inhibiting central or peripheral SGLT-2. These results provide a new concept that sympathetic inhibition by SGLT-2i can be mediated by central autonomic system, a mechanism that explains how SGLT-2i improves the cardiovascular function.
