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

Heterotrimeric G proteins of the G(i) class have been implicated in signaling pathways regulating growth and metabolism under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Knockout mice carrying inactivating mutations in both of the widely expressed Galpha(i) class genes, Galpha(i2) and Galpha(i3), demonstrate shared as well as gene-specific functions. The presence of a single active allele of Galpha(i3) is sufficient for embryonic development, whereas at least one allele of Galpha(i2) is required for extrauterine life. Mice lacking both Galpha(i2) and Galpha(i3) are massively growth-retarded and die in utero. We have used biochemical and cell biological methods together with in situ liver perfusion experiments to study Galpha(i) isoform-specific functions in Galpha(i2)- and Galpha(i3)-deficient mice. The subcellular localization of Galpha(i3) in isolated mouse hepatocytes depends on the cellular metabolic status. Galpha(i3) localizes to autophagosomes upon starvation-induced autophagy and distributes to the plasma membrane upon insulin stimulation. Analysis of autophagic proteolysis in perfused mouse livers showed that mice lacking Galpha(i3) are deficient in the inhibitory action of insulin. These data indicate that Galpha(i3) is crucial for the antiautophagic action of insulin and suggest an as-yet-unrecognized function for Galpha(i3) on autophagosomal membranes.
