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

In diabetes, chronic hyperglycaemia leads to cognitive impairment, neurodegeneration and dementia. In a rodent model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes (STZ-T1D), we previously demonstrated that recurrent hypoglycaemia (RH) further exacerbates this process through a mechanism involving increased oxidative and inflammatory stress that overwhelms the compensatory activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant system, which was insufficient to prevent cognitive impairment. The current study investigated whether the induction of the antioxidant response through pre-treatment with sulforaphane (SFN), a potent Nrf2 inducer, would ameliorate these cognitive deficits. A mouse model of chronic insulin-treated T1D was achieved using STZ (125 mg/kg i.p.) and insulin implants (Linbit
