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

WBN/Kob-Lepr(fa) (fa/fa) rats have been identified as a new animal model of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), as they are characterized by impaired pancreatic insulin secretion and severe insulin resistance. Our previous study demonstrated impaired insulin secretion and its involvement in hyperglycemia in fa/fa rats. The present study was aimed at elucidating the role of insulin resistance in the development and progression of diabetes in these animals. Troglitazone (TGZ) was used as an insulin sensitizer. Insulin resistance and insulin secretory capacity were measured by a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and the area under the blood concentration-time curve for plasma insulin levels after intravenous glucose tolerance testing, respectively. The fa/fa rats exhibited marked insulin resistance between 5 and 11 weeks of age, compared with age-matched Wistar rats. The insulin secretory capacity of fa/fa rats was higher than that of Wistar rats at 5 weeks of age, but decreased by 50% between 9 and 11 weeks of age. The fa/fa rats were fed a standard diet, with or without 0.2% w/w TGZ, for 4 weeks. Treatment with TGZ significantly improved insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia in both prophylactic and therapeutic study groups. These results suggest that insulin resistance is markedly involved in the development and progression of T2DM in fa/fa rats.
