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

Rhythmic insulin secretion from pancreatic islets is the culmination of many processes both intrinsic and extrinsic to the beta cell. We wished to examine and compare endogenous metabolic oscillations in islets and isolated single beta cells that underlie secretion. Fluorescence patterns of rhodamine 123, an indicator of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim), were analyzed for period and amplitude of oscillations using two methods: CLUSTER7 and fast Fourier transform (FFT). The period of DeltaPsim oscillations was greater in islets (271 +/- 21 s, n = 34) compared to dispersed beta cells (180 +/- 10 s, n = 54) by FFT analysis (p < 0.0005). CLUSTER7 confirmed differences in period and also detected oscillatory amplitude differences between beta cells (12.0 +/- 0.8) and islets (7.1 +/- 2.3% of baseline fluorescence, p < 0.0001). Depolarizing responses to the mitochondrial poison NaN3 were reduced in beta cells (35 +/- 4%) vs islets (58 +/- 9%), and hyperpolarizing responses to the calcium channel blocker nifedipine were enhanced in beta cells (15 +/- 4%) vs islets (8 +/- 1%), suggesting that mitochondria in dispersed beta cells were less energized than those in intact islets (p < 0.005), possibly due to elevated intracellular calcium. These findings suggest that individual beta cells possess the proper machinery to generate metabolic oscillations. Differences in oscillatory period, DeltaPsim, and nifedipine response suggest that incorporation into islets provides beta cells with additional modulatory influences.
