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

Dysregulation of blood glucose and triglycerides are the major characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We sought to identify the mechanisms regulating blood glucose and lipid homeostasis. Cell-based studies established that the Foxo forkhead transcription factors Forkhead box O (Foxo)-1, Foxo3, and Foxo4 are inactivated by insulin via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt-dependent pathway, but the role of Foxo transcription factors in the liver in regulating nutrient metabolism is incompletely understood. In this study, we used the Cre/LoxP genetic approach to delete the Foxo1, Foxo3, and Foxo4 genes individually or a combination of two or all in the liver of lean or db/db mice and assessed the role of Foxo inactivation in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis in vivo. In the lean mice or db/db mice, hepatic deletion of Foxo1, rather than Foxo3 or Foxo4, caused a modest reduction in blood glucose concentrations and barely affected lipid homeostasis. Combined deletion of Foxo1 and Foxo3 decreased blood glucose levels, elevated serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations, and increased hepatic lipid secretion and caused hepatosteatosis. Analysis of the liver transcripts established a prominent role of Foxo1 in regulating gene expression of gluconeogenic enzymes and Foxo3 in the expression of lipogenic enzymes. Our findings indicate that Foxo1 and Foxo3 inactivation serves as a potential mechanism by which insulin reduces hepatic glucose production and increases hepatic lipid synthesis and secretion in healthy and diabetic states.
