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

backgroundIleal transposition (IT) can effectively resolve obesity and improve type 2 diabetes. IT is associated with increased glucagon-like peptide 1 secretion. The mechanisms mediating the effects of IT on obesity and diabetes remain undefined. Given the role of pro-opiomelanocortin neurons in energy balance, we sought to determine its potential role in these processes.

methodsTwenty non-obese diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats underwent either IT or sham operation. Various measures including food intake, body weight, fasting plasma glucose, glucagon-like peptide 1 level, activated pro-opiomelanocortin neuron number, and pro-opiomelanocortin mRNA expression were evaluated.

resultsThe IT group demonstrated significantly improved plasma glucose homeostasis with increased glucagon-like peptide 1 secretion. The IT group ate less and demonstrated reduced body weight gain over time. These effects were also associated with increased central neuronal activity with increased pro-opiomelanocortin and derivative gene expression in the hypothalamus and increased protein expression in the pituitary gland.

conclusionsMore pro-opiomelanocortin neurons in the hypothalamus of diabetes rats were activated after ileal transposition. These data suggest a potential important role for pro-opiomelanocortin neurons in the resolution of diabetes after IT.
