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

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent metabolic disease inducing alterations of multiple organ systems with currently no cure. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been increasingly noticed as one critical paracrine communicator inducing insulin resistance and metabolic disorders in T2D, but clinically available pharmaceuticals for controlling pathological EV release is lacking. Here, we discover that the natural monosaccharide D-mannose exists with an altered level in the db/db mouse T2D model. Intriguingly, oral administration of D-mannose with the drinking water safely ameliorates diabetic symptoms in db/db mice. D-mannose administration does not critically regulate the gut microbiome and circulatory T lymphocytes in treating T2D, while administrated D-mannose rapidly accumulates in the liver, alleviates hepatic steatosis and rescues insulin resistance. Regarding the mechanism, the T2D pathological EVs released by macrophages are targeted and reduced by D-mannose, which metabolically inhibits CD36 expression and restores function of hepatocytes. Importantly, by regulating macrophage EV release, D-mannose administration reveals extra-hepatic benefits and retards diabetic bone loss. Taken together, our findings unveil D-mannose as a candidate T2D therapeutic and highlight sugars governing intercellular EV crosstalk, paving an avenue for pharmaceutical T2D approaches with amelioration of multi-organ deteriorations.
