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

Elevated circulating insulin levels between 80 and 100 µU/mL characterize hyperinsulinemia, which often leads to metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Elevated circulating insulin levels can directly affect vascular function and contribute to the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system, including secondary arterial hypertension (SAH) and atherosclerosis. It is well known that hyperinsulinemia induced remodeling of the heart. However, there is no information on whether intrinsic differences exist between human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and if in vitro mimicking hyperinsulinemia induces human VSMCs morphological and intracellular homeostasis remodeling in a sex- and sex hormones-dependent manner. Our in vitro cultured human VSMCs, coupled with quantitative 3D confocal imaging results, show that intrinsic differences exist between VSMCs from young men and women. Chronic hyperinsulinemia (80 µU/mL, 48 h treatment) increases cell and nuclear volumes associated with increased intracellular calcium (Ca
