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

Diabetes is a common endocrine disorder, primarily characterised by elevated plasma glucose levels. The disease affects all age groups worldwide. Most patients suffer from Type 2 diabetes, which is mainly due to insulin resistance. It is thought that changes in insulin signalling pathways underlie the development of insulin resistance. This article aims to review recent studies that have elucidated the role of individual proteins in these insulin signalling pathways. These studies have been undertaken using two strategies, one employing mice carrying a global null mutation of particular gene-encoding proteins by the homologous recombination method and another strategy using mice with tissue-specific insulin receptor and/or GLUT4 knockout by the Cre-loxP system. The various phenotypes of these knockout mice, and the light they shed on the etiology of insulin resistance, are discussed. By advancing our understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance, these knock-out models may help us to develop more effective treatments for Type 2 diabetes.
