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

It has been postulated that a decrease in Na,KATPase- mediated ion gradients may be a contributing mechanism to insulin secretion. However, the precise role of the Na,K-ATPase in pancreatic β-cell membrane depolarization and insulin secretion signalling have been difficult to evaluate, mostly because data reporting changes in enzymatic activity have been obtained in cell homogenates or membrane preparations, lacking intact intracellular signalling pathways. The aim of this work was to develop a method to characterize Na,K-ATPase activity in intact pancreatic β-cells that will allow the investigation of putative Na,K-ATPase activity regulation by glucose and its possible role in insulin secretion signalling. This work demonstrates for the first time that it is possible to determine Na,K-ATPase activity in intact pancreatic β-cells and that this is a suitable method for the study of the mechanisms involved in the Na,K-ATPase regulation and eventually its relevance for insulin secretion signalling.
