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

It has been intensively studied that inflammation contributes to the insulin resistance development in obesity-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we assessed the effect of karyopherin β1 (KPNβ1) in hepatic insulin resistance and the underlying mechanisms using high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice and palmitate (PA)-stimulated hepatocytes (HepG2). KPNβ1 expression is increased in the HFD fed mice liver. PA upregulated KPNβ1 expression in HepG2 cells in a time-dependent manner. PA also increased pro-inflammatory cytokines expression, including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). KPNβ1 knockdown reversed PA-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines expression and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in HepG2 cells. In addition, KPNβ1 knockdown reduced intracellular lipid accumulation. Mechanistically, KPNβ1 transports nuclear factor kB (NF-κB) p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus to increase pro-inflammatory genes expression. In summary, KPNβ1 acts as a positive regulator in the NF-κB pathway to enhance palmitate-induced inflammation response and insulin resistance in HepG2 cells.
