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 regulation of the biosynthesis of the insulin-secretory-granule matrix proteins insulin II, chromogranin A and carboxypeptidase H was studied in isolated rat islets of Langerhans. Islets were labelled with [35S]-methionine, and incorporation into total protein was determined by trichloroacetic acid precipitation and that into specific proteins by immunoprecipitation followed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Islets incubated in the presence of 16.7 mM-glucose incorporated 3 times as much [35S]-methionine into total protein as did islets incubated with 2.8 mM-glucose. The same conditions produced more than a 20-fold increase in incorporation into both proinsulin and chromogranin A, with no observable effect on carboxypeptidase H. The concentration-dependencies of the glucose-stimulated synthesis of chromogranin A and proinsulin were parallel, and in both cases the response to 16.7 mM-glucose was typified by an initial lag of 20 min, followed by a rapid activation to a new steady state over the ensuing 40 min. Synthesis of total protein, although activated to a lesser extent, responded with similar kinetics. Extracellular Ca2+ depletion did not affect the basal or glucose-stimulated biosynthesis of any of the proteins under investigation. Mannoheptulose (20 mM) abolished glucose-stimulated synthesis of insulin, chromogranin A and total protein, but had no effect on the synthesis of carboxypeptidase H. It is concluded that the biosynthesis of insulin and chromogranin A is regulated principally at the translational level by the same intracellular signal generated from the metabolism of glucose. Such regulation is not common to all insulin-secretory-granule proteins, since the synthesis of carboxypeptidase H was unaffected by the same stimulus.
