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 hepatic response to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and N6-monobutyryl-cAMP (N6-MB-cAMP) in the glucose and glycogen catabolism and hepatic glycogen levels were evaluated in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats, on days 5 (WK5), 8 (WK8), and 11 (WK11) after the implantation of tumor. Rats without tumor fed ad libitum (fed control rats) or that received the same daily amount of food ingested by anorexics tumor-bearing rats (pair-fed control rats) or 24 h fasted (fasted control rats) were used as controls. Glucose and glycogen catabolism were measured in perfused liver. Hepatic glycogen levels were lower (p < 0.05) in WK5, WK8, and WK11 rats in comparison with fed control rats, but not in relation to the pair-fed control rats. However, the stimulatory effect of cAMP (3 and 9 μM) in the glycogen catabolism was lower (p < 0.05), respectively, in WK5 and WK8 rats compared to the pair-fed and fed control rats. Accordingly, the suppressive effect of cAMP (6 μM) in the glucose catabolism, under condition of depletion of hepatic glycogen (24 h fast), was lower (p < 0.05) in WK5 and WK11 rats than in fasted control rats. Similarly, the suppressive effect of N6-MB-cAMP (1 μM), a synthetic analogue of cAMP that it is not degraded by phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), in the glucose catabolism was lower (p < 0.05) in WK5 rats compared to fasted control rats. In conclusion, livers of Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats showed lower response to cAMP in the glucose and glycogen catabolism in various stages of tumor development (days 5, 8 and 11), which was probably not due to the lower hepatic glycogen levels nor due to the increased activity of PDE3B.
