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

aims/hypothesisANGPTL8 is a circulatory hormone secreted from liver and adipose tissue that promotes pancreatic beta cell proliferation and interferes with triacylglycerol metabolism in mice. The clinical significance of its effects on inducing beta cell proliferation is limited because it causes severe hypertriacylglycerolaemia.

methodsWe employed ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) to deliver human ANGPTL8 gene plasmids to the pancreas, liver and skeletal muscle of normal adult rats.

resultsHuman ANGPTL8 was consistently detected in the circulation 1 month after UTMD. ANGPTL8 gene delivery promoted the proliferation of adult and aged beta cells, expanded the beta cell mass, improved glucose tolerance and increased the fasting blood insulin level after UTMD treatment without causing severe hypertriacylglycerolaemia. ANGPTL8 gene therapy significantly alleviated but did not totally reverse STZ-induced diabetes in a rat model. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationANGPTL8 induced adult and aged beta cell regeneration in a rat model.
