Metabolic Coupling Determines the Activity: Comparison of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1 and Its Coupling between Liver Parenchymal Cells and Testicular Leydig Cells.
Article in PloS one, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
background11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) interconverts active 11β-hydroxyl glucocorticoids and inactive 11keto forms. However, its directionality is determined by availability of NADP+/NADPH. In liver cells, 11β-HSD1 behaves as a primary reductase, while in Leydig cells it acts as a primary oxidase. However, the exact mechanism is not clear. The direction of 11β-HSD1 has been proposed to be regulated by hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH), which catalyzes glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to generate NADPH that drives 11β-HSD1 towards reduction. METHODOLOGY: To examine the coupling between 11β-HSD1 and H6PDH, we added G6P to rat and human liver and testis or Leydig cell microsomes, and 11β-HSD1 activity was measured by radiometry. RESULTS AND
conclusionsG6P stimulated 11β-HSD1 reductase activity in rat (3 fold) or human liver (1.5 fold), but not at all in testis. S3483, a G6P transporter inhibitor, reversed the G6P-mediated increases of 11β-HSD1 reductase activity. We compared the extent to which 11β-HSD1 in rat Leydig and liver cells might be coupled to H6PDH. In order to clarify the location of H6PDH within the testis, we used the Leydig cell toxicant ethane dimethanesulfonate (EDS) to selectively deplete Leydig cells. The depletion of Leydig cells eliminated Hsd11b1 (encoding 11β-HSD1) expression but did not affect the expression of H6pd (encoding H6PDH) and Slc37a4 (encoding G6P transporter). H6pd mRNA level and H6PDH activity were barely detectable in purified rat Leydig cells. In conclusion, the availability of H6PDH determines the different direction of 11β-HSD1 in liver and Leydig cells.
