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

There are two mechanisms for glucose transport across cell membranes. In the intestine and renal proximal tubule, glucose is transported against a concentration gradient by a secondary active transport mechanism in which glucose is cotransported with sodium ions. In all other cells, glucose transport is mediated by one or more of the members of the closely related GLUT family of glucose transporters. The pattern of expression of the GLUT transporters in different tissues is related to the different roles of glucose metabolism in different tissues. Primary defects in glucose transport all appear to be extremely rare and not all possible deficiencies have been identified. Deficiency of the secondary active sodium/glucose transporters result in glucose/galactose malabsorption or congenital renal glycosuria. GLUT1 deficiency produces a seizure disorder with low glucose concentration in cerebrospinal fluid and GLUT2 deficiency is the basis of the Fanconi-Bickel syndrome, which resembles type I glycogen storage disease.
