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

The Goto Kakizaki (GK) rat is a widely used animal model to study defective glucose-stimulated insulin release in type-2 diabetes (T2D). As in T2D patients, the expression of several proteins involved in Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of insulin-containing large dense-core vesicles is dysregulated in this model. So far, a defect in late steps of insulin secretion could not be demonstrated. To resolve this apparent contradiction, we studied Ca(2+)-secretion coupling of healthy and GK rat beta cells in acute pancreatic tissue slices by assessing exocytosis with high time-resolution membrane capacitance measurements. We found that beta cells of GK rats respond to glucose stimulation with a normal increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. During trains of depolarizing pulses, the secretory activity from GK rat beta cells was defective in spite of upregulated cell size and doubled voltage-activated Ca(2+) currents. In GK rat beta cells, evoked Ca(2+) entry was significantly less efficient in triggering release than in nondiabetic controls. This impairment was neither due to a decrease of functional vesicle pool sizes nor due to different kinetics of pool refilling. Strong stimulation with two successive trains of depolarizing pulses led to a prominent activity-dependent facilitation of release in GK rat beta cells, whereas secretion in controls was unaffected. Broad-spectrum inhibition of PKC sensitized Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis, whereas it prevented the activity-dependent facilitation in GK rat beta cells. We conclude that a decrease in the sensitivity of the GK rat beta-cell to depolarization-evoked Ca(2+) influx is involved in defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Furthermore, we discuss a role for constitutively increased activity of one or more PKC isoenzymes in diabetic rat beta cells.
