Potentiation and prolongation of the insulinotropic action of glucagon-like peptide 1 by methyl pyruvate or dimethyl ester of L-glutamic acid in a type 2 diabetes animal model.
Article in Endocrine, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Methyl pyruvate and the dimethyl ester of L-glutamic acid were administered intravenously, as a primed constant infusion (1.0-2.0 micromol followed by 0.5-1.0 micromol/min, both expressed per gram of body wt), in adult rats that had been injected with streptozotocin during the neonatal period. Each ester augmented plasma insulin concentration and potentiated and/or prolonged the insulinotropic action of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) injected intravenously (5 pmol/g of body wt) at min 5 of the test. It is proposed, therefore, that suitable nonglucidic nutrients, susceptible to bypassing the site-specific defects of D-glucose transport and metabolism responsible for the preferential impairment of the B-cell secretory response to D-glucose in non-insulin-dependent diabetes, could be used to optimize the insulinotropic action of GLP-1.
