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 liver is an important target for interleukin-6 (IL-6) action leading to an increased inflammatory response with impaired insulin signaling and action. The aims of this study are to address if insulin is anti-inflammatory and attenuates IL-6-induced inflammation in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2 and if this involves signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal transduction. It was found that insulin significantly reduced IL-6-induced gene transcription of serum amyloid 1 (SAA1), serum amyloid 2 (SAA2), haptoglobin, orosomucoid, and plasmin activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). However, the authors did not find any evidence that insulin inhibited IL-6 signal transduction, i.e., no effect of insulin was detected on STAT3 phosphorylation or its translocation to cell nucleus. The potential role of PKCδ was also analyzed but no evidence of its involvement was found. Taken together, these results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of insulin on IL-6 action is exerted at the level of the transcriptional activation of the genes. Further analysis revealed that insulin regulates nuclear localization of FOXO1, which is an important co-activator for STAT3 mediated transcription. Insulin induced nuclear exit and Thr24 phosphorylation of FOXO1, thus, inhibiting STAT3-mediated transcription.
