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

Although pigs are adapted to starch-rich diets and have high turnover rates of glucose, very scarce information is available on the molecular basis of glucose transport. Therefore, the present study attempted a systematic screening for the presence of mRNA of glucose transport proteins in main organs of glucose absorption, production and conservation. From the members of the solute carrier family SLC5A (sodium glucose cotransporter), the porcine jejunum was positive for SGLT1 and SGLT3, but also contained detectable levels of SGLT5. Liver contained SGLT1, SGLT5, traces of SGLT3 and, in one of five pigs, SGLT2. Kidney contained SGLT1, SGLT2, SGLT3, SGLT5 and hardly detectable levels of SGLT4. Skeletal muscle showed weak signals for SGLT3 and SGLT5. Screening for members of the SLC2A family (facilitated glucose transporter) in intestine revealed the presence of mRNA for GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT5, GLUT7 and GLUT8, while GLUT3, GLUT4, GLUT10 and GLUT11 were also detectable. The liver contained GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT8 mRNA, while GLUT3, GLUT4, GLUT5, GLUT10 and GLUT11 were poorly detectable. The kidney was positive for GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT5, GLUT8 and GLUT11, but traces of GLUT3, GLUT4 and GLUT10 could also be detected. Skeletal muscle had the strongest signal for GLUT4, while GLUT1, GLUT3, GLUT5, GLUT8, GLUT10 and GLUT11 showed weak signals. A total of 12 unique partial cDNA sequences were submitted to GenBank. In conclusion, this study provides molecular insight into the organ-specific expression of glucose transporters in pigs and thus sheds light on the way of glucose handling in this omnivorous species.
