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/hypothesisGlucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Rates of diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are decreased when GIP signalling is disturbed in mice, suggesting that GIP plays a role in the onset of type 2 diabetes. WNT signalling is linked to type 2 diabetes and induces synthesis of the other incretin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 analogues improve treatment of type 2 diabetes patients in whom GLP-1 signalling is intact and have captured clinical attention. GIP levels are altered at the onset of type 2 diabetes and later on, while GIP signalling is impaired. Thus, GIP is not a candidate for treatment but might be an important target from a prevention perspective. Hypothesising that hypersecretion of GIP links altered WNT signalling to the onset of type 2 diabetes, we sought to determine whether WNT signalling induces GIP production by entero-endocrine cells.

methodsRT-PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were used to study Gip gene induction. Gip promoter elements mediating WNT/lithium induction were identified (electrophoretic mobility shift assay, co-transfection of deletion mutants, ChIP).

resultsLithium or WNT/beta-catenin signalling enhanced GIP production by entero-endocrine cells through a conserved site in the proximal Gip promoter. Lithium favours lymphoid enhancer factor-1/beta-catenin binding to Gip promoter and diminishes ChIP through T cell factor-4 and histone deacetylase 1. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationLithium and WNT are incretin inducers in general. This work provides a novel link between WNT signalling, obesity and diabetes.
