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

objectiveTo examine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the control of glucoprivic feeding by hindbrain catecholamine neurons. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsMicropunched hindbrain samples were collected from control and 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG)-injected rats for Western blot analysis of phosphorylated (activated) AMPK (pAMPK). Samples also were collected from 2DG-injected rats pretreated with anti-dopamine-β-hydroxylase conjugated to saporin to lesion hindbrain catecholamine neurons. In a second experiment, rats were given a fourth-ventricle injection of compound C (CC) or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxyamide ribonucleoside (AICAR), an inhibitor and activator of AMPK, to identify a role for AMPK in hindbrain neurons required for elicitation of 2DG-induced feeding.

resultsSystemic 2DG stimulated food intake in controls but not in catecholamine-lesioned rats. In controls, but not catecholamine-lesioned rats, 2DG also increased phosphorylated Thr172 at AMPKα subunits (pAMPKα) in hindbrain micropunches containing catecholaminergic cell groups A1 through the middle region of C1 (A1-C1m). Increased pAMPKα was not observed in the adjacent noncatecholaminergic ventromedial medulla or in the A2-C2 catecholamine cell groups in the dorsal hindbrain. Fourth-ventricle injection of CC attenuated 2DG-induced feeding during the first 2 h of the test, and AICAR alone increased food intake only during the first 60 min of the 4-h test.

conclusionsResults indicate that AMPK in catecholaminergic A1-C1m neurons is activated by glucoprivation. Therefore, AMPK may contribute to the glucose-sensing mechanism by which these neurons detect and signal a glucose deficit in the service of systemic glucoregulation.
