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

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with glucose results in a decrease in the amount of glycogen synthase activity found in supernatants obtained after centrifugation of cell homogenates at 9200 g. The enzymic activity was quantitatively recovered in the sediments. This effect of translocation was dose- and time-dependent and correlated with the amount of immunoreactive enzyme determined by immunoblotting in both fractions. Hydrolysis by alpha-amylase of glycogen accumulated upon incubation with the sugar did not affect the translocation pattern. Translocation was also observed when cells were incubated with 2-deoxyglucose, which did not result in accumulation of glycogen. Immunocytochemical evidence indicates that glucose induces the aggregation of glycogen synthase molecules into clusters which are recovered in the sediments. These results indicate that glucose, in addition to activating glycogen synthase, may trigger changes in the localization of the enzyme in the cell.
