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

Insulin receptors in turkey erythrocyte and rat adipocyte plasma membranes display non-linear hormone binding by Scatchard analysis. This result is consistent with evidence that the insulin-binding sites are heterogeneous and have at least two affinities for the hormone. Mild reduction of plasma membranes with dithiothreitol, before insulin binding, increased the fraction of hormone binding with high affinity without significantly changing the total number of receptor-binding sites. In the presence of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, the amount of receptor with high affinity for insulin in the reduced membranes decreased to that present in the absence of reduction; the effect of the nucleotide was concentration- and temperature-dependent. This decrease in insulin binding was specific for guanine nucleotides.
