Review in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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

Thiazolidinediones (TZD) [Troglitazone (TRO), Pioglitazone (PGZ), Rosiglitazone, (RGZ)] are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs for patients with Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) able to decrease blood glucose, working through a reduction of insulin resistance. The family of TZD exerts its effect specifically bound to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor y (PPARy). This is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors, together with PPARalpha and deltabeta. Although PPARgamma is essentially expressed in adipose tissue, it has also been found in endothelial cells, macrophages, vascular smooth muscle cells, glomerular mesangial cells, hepatic stellate cells and in several cancer cell lines. In these cells, the PPARgamma activation by TZD determines modulatory effects on growth factor release, production of cytokine, cell proliferation and migration, extracellular matrix remodeling and control on cell cycle progression and differentiation. In addition, TZD have been shown to have a potent antioxidant effect. This review, taking a quick look beyond the antidiabetic activity of PPARgamma, shows the dramatic ranging of medical implications that the use of TZD could have modulating the PPARgamma activity in several diseases with a strong social impact, such as insulin resistance syndrome, chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancer.
