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

purposeThe main objective of this study is to elucidate the role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) regulated by yes-associated protein (YAP) on diabetes mellitus erectile dysfunction (DMED). MATERIALS AND

methodsHigh concentrations of glucose and palmitic acid (HGP) culturing simulated a diabetic condition

resultsNuclear YAP in RCECs was significantly increased after pretreatment with HGP. YAP overexpression enhanced the cell proliferation (0.236±0.004

conclusionsYAP promotes EndMT to impair erectile function in type 2 diabetic rats by phosphorylating Smad3, providing a new strategy for treating DMED.
