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

objectiveThe management of diabetes with insulin and synthetic oral hypoglycemic drugs (OHDs) can produce serious side effects and in addition fails to prevent diabetes-related complications in many patients. A new diabetes management strategy is needed that is more effective and has fewer side effects.

methodsThis paper analyzes the dose- and time-dependent effect of three phytochemicals: berberine, arecoline and vanillic acid, and two antidiabetic drugs: 2,4-thiazolidinedione (TZD) and metformin, on the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) by 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The interactions of the phytochemicals with the OHDs were analyzed with isobolograms and the combination index.

resultsTZD and berberine increased 2DG uptake by 3.3-fold (with respect to control) at 15 μM and 25 μM, respectively. The same concentrations of arecoline and vanillic acid increased 2DG uptake by 3.2-and 2.9-fold, respectively, when compared with the basal level. Berberine and arecoline acted synergistically with both the OHDs, whereas vanillic acid had an additive interaction with TZD and an antagonistic interaction with metformin. Arecoline significantly increased the translocation of GLUT4 via the PPAR(γ) pathway, whereas berberine and vanillic acid did this via the AMPK-dependent pathway.

conclusionsThese phytochemicals significantly reduced the expression of the enzymes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, indicating that they might help prevent the secondary complications of diabetes. The current study suggests that berberine and arecoline could allow dosage reduction of OHDs, which could also lead to a reduction in the toxicity and side effects caused by OHDs.
