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

aims/hypothesisLiver X receptors (LXRs) play important roles in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate effects of the endogenous LXR agonist 22-R-hydroxycholesterol (22-R-HC) and its stereoisomer 22-S-hydroxycholesterol (22-S-HC), in comparison with the synthetic agonist T0901317 on lipid and glucose metabolism in human skeletal muscle cells (myotubes).

methodsMyotubes established from lean and obese control volunteers and from obese type 2 diabetic volunteers were treated with LXR ligands for 4 days. Lipid and glucose metabolisms were studied with labelled precursors, and gene expression was analysed using real-time PCR.

resultsTreatment with T0901317 increased lipogenesis (de novo lipid synthesis) and lipid accumulation in myotubes, this increase being more pronounced in myotubes from type 2 diabetic volunteers than from lean volunteers. Furthermore, 22-S-HC efficiently counteracted the T0901317-induced enhancement of lipid formation. Moreover, synthesis of diacylglycerol, cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol from acetate was reduced below baseline by 22-S-HC, whereas glucose uptake and oxidation were increased. Both 22-S-HC and 22-R-HC, in contrast to T0901317, decreased the expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, whereas only 22-R-HC, like T0901317, increased the expression of the gene encoding the reverse cholesterol transporter ATP-binding cassette subfamily A1 (ABCA1). CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationT0901317-induced lipogenesis and lipid formation was more pronounced in myotubes from type 2 diabetic patients than from lean individuals. 22-S-HC counteracted these effects and reduced de novo lipogenesis below baseline, while glucose uptake and oxidation were increased.
