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

To test whether hepatocytes engineered in vivo can serve as surrogate beta cells by similarly secreting mature insulin in a glucose-sensitive manner, we prepared adenoviral vectors encoding wild-type proinsulin (hIns-wt), a modified proinsulin cleavable by the ubiquitously expressed protease furin (hIns-M3), or each of the two beta cell specific pro-insulin convertases PC2 and PC3. Following a detailed in vitro characterization of the proteins produced by our vectors, we infected the liver and, for comparison, the muscle of a chemically induced murine model of type I diabetes. Insulin expression from the transduced tissues was extensively characterized and showed to be constitutive rather than regulated. To obtain regulated expression, we placed expression of hIns-M3 under the control of the dimerizer-inducible transcription system. Hormone secretion from mouse liver was negligible in the absence of the dimerizer drug rapamycin, was inducible in a dose-dependent manner upon its administration, and reversible following drug withdrawal. These data confirm liver as a promising target for in vivo expression of processed insulin. While suggesting that hepatocytes cannot provide authentic glucose-responsive regulation, these results demonstrate that pharmacological regulation is a promising alternative route to the controlled delivery of insulin following hepatic gene transfer.
