PI3K-resistant GSK3 controls adiponectin formation and protects from metabolic syndrome.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia. It is the consequence of an imbalance between caloric intake and energy consumption. Adiponectin protects against metabolic syndrome. Insulin-induced signaling includes activation of PI3 kinase and protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt. PKB/Akt in turn inactivates glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3, a major regulator of metabolism. Here, we studied the significance of PI3K-dependent GSK3 inactivation for adiponectin formation in diet-induced metabolic syndrome. Mice expressing PI3K-insensitive GSK3 (gsk3(KI)) and wild-type mice (gsk3(WT)) were fed a high-fat diet. Compared with gsk3(WT) mice, gsk3(KI) mice were protected against the development of metabolic syndrome as evident from a markedly lower weight gain, lower total body and liver fat accumulation, better glucose tolerance, stronger hepatic insulin-dependent PKB/Akt phosphorylation, lower serum insulin, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, as well as higher energy expenditure. Serum adiponectin concentration and the activity of transcription factor C/EBPα controlling the expression of adiponectin in adipose tissue was significantly higher in gsk3(KI) mice than in gsk3(WT) mice. Treatment with GSK3 inhibitor lithium significantly decreased the serum adiponectin concentration of gsk3(KI) mice and abrogated the difference in C/EBPα activity between the genotypes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the expression of PI3K-insensitive GSK3 stimulates the production of adiponectin and protects from diet-induced metabolic syndrome.
