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 objective of this study was to investigate the effects of liraglutide, an analog of human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1), on WBN/Kob-Lepr(fa) (fa/fa) rats, which spontaneously develop type 2 diabetes mellitus with pancreatic disorder and obesity. Male fa/fa rats (age, 7 wk) were allocated into 4 groups and received liraglutide (37.5, 75, 150 μg/kg SC) or saline (control group) once daily for 4 wk. All rats in the control group became overweight and developed hyperglycemia as they aged. Although the rats given liraglutide showed a dose-dependent reduction in food intake, no significant effects on body weight or fat content occurred. In the liraglutide groups, the development of hyperglycemia was suppressed, even as plasma insulin concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner. Intravenous glucose tolerance testing of the liraglutide-treated rats confirmed improvement of glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin secretion. Histologic examination revealed increased numbers of pancreatic β-cell type islet cells and increased proliferation of epithelial cells of the small ducts in the liraglutide-treated groups. Although our study did not reveal a significant decrease in obesity after liraglutide administration, the results suggest a marked antidiabetic effect characterized by increased insulin secretion in fa/fa rats with pancreatic disorders.
