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

Endothelium dysfunction has been understood primarily in terms of abnormal vasomotor function, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and chronic diabetic complications. However, it has not been fully studied that the endothelium may regulate metabolism itself. The response gene to complement 32 (RGC-32) has be considered as an angiogenic inhibitor in the context of endothelial cells. We found that RGC-32 was induced by high fat diet in vivo and by glucose or insulin in endothelial cells, and then we set out to investigate the role of endothelial RGC-32 in metabolism. DNA array analysis and qPCR results showed that glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase [isomerizing] 1 (GFPT1), solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 12 (SLC2A12, GLUT12) and glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor (GLP2R) may be among possible glucose metabolism related downstream genes of RGC-32. Additionally, in the mice with endothelial specific over-expressed RGC-32, the disposal of carbohydrate was improved without changing insulin sensitivity when mice were faced with high fat diet challenges. Taken together, our findings suggest that RGC-32 in the endothelial cells regulates glucose metabolism related genes and subsequent helps to maintain the homeostasis of blood glucose.
