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

Cultures of pancreatic islet cells from obese and lean mice of the C57BL/6J strain were established and their secretory response to glucose stimulation was measured. Insulin secretion (as % of total cellular insulin content) from the cells of the obese mouse cultures was significantly higher than from lean mouse cells. The properties of the glucose- and ATP-sensitive potassium channels present in these cultured beta-cells were compared using the cell-attached and the inside-out configurations of the patch-clamp technique. The channels of both types of mouse were indistinguishable in terms of conductance, ionic selectivity, kinetic behavior, voltage dependence or sensitivity to glucose, ATP and ADP. It is concluded that the depolarized state and the hypersecretory response of obese mouse beta-cells are not related to an altered behavior of their ATP-sensitive potassium channels.
