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

The slow-twitch soleus, but not fast-twitch muscle, of old vs. adult rats has previously been demonstrated to become insulin resistant for in vivo glucose uptake. We probed cellular mechanisms for the age effect by assessing whether insulin resistance for glucose uptake was an intrinsic characteristic of the muscle ex vivo and by analyzing key insulin signaling steps. We hypothesized that isolated soleus and epitrochlearis (fast-twitch) muscles from old (25 mo) vs. adult (9 mo) male Fisher-344 x Brown Norway rats would have insulin resistance for Akt2 Thr308 phosphorylation (pAkt2Thr308), AS160 phosphorylation Thr642 (pAS160Thr642), and atypical PKC (aPKCzeta/lambda) activity corresponding in magnitude to the extent of insulin resistance for [3H]-2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake. Epitrochlearis insulin-stimulated 2-DG uptake above basal values was unaltered by age, and epitrochlearis pAkt2Thr308, pAS160Thr642, and aPKCzeta/lambda activity were not significantly different in adult vs. old rats. Conversely, insulin-stimulated 2-DG uptake by the soleus of old vs. adult rats was reduced with 1.2 nM (42%) and 30 nM (28%) insulin concomitant with an age-related decline in pAkt2Thr308 of the insulin-stimulated soleus. There were no age effects on pAS160Thr642 or aPKCzeta/lambda activity or abundance of Akt2, AS160, GLUT4 or Appl1 protein in either muscle. The results suggest the possibility that an age-related decline in pAkt2Thr308, acting by a mechanism other than reduced pAS160Thr642, may play a role in the insulin resistance in the soleus of old rats. Skeletal muscle insulin resistance in old age is distinctive compared with other insulin-resistant rodent models that are not selective for greater insulin resistance in the soleus vs. the epitrochlearis.
