Polymethoxy flavones do not exert an inducing effect on the biosynthesis and secretion of insulin by pancreatic β-cells.
Article in Biomedical reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs), which are compounds characteristic of citrus plants, possess a wide range of biological properties, particularly affecting glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the mechanism underlying the antidiabetic activity of PMFs has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential effect of PMFs on the biosynthesis and secretion of insulin, which are crucial in diabetes. We investigated whether PMFs are able to induce insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and observed that different concentrations (12.5, 25, 37.5 and 50 μg/ml) of PMFs exerted no effect on insulin synthesis and secretion in INS-1 cells, regardless of the glucose levels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism by PMFs is not mediated by directly affecting insulin synthesis or secretion. Therefore, further studies are required to elucidate the role of PMFs in diabetes.
