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

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PEPCK1) is the critical enzyme for gluconeogenesis and is linked with type II diabetes. Previous studies have found that SIRT2, a deacetylase, plays an important role in deacetylating PEPCK1 and little is known about the anti-diabetic activity of SIRT2 inhibitors. In this study, we investigated the anti-diabetic effects of sirtinol, a SIRT2 inhibitor, on cell gluconeogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that sirtinol significantly decreased the protein level of PEPCK1, and was accompanied by the hyperacetylation of PEPCK1 as well as decreased glucose output in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, sirtinol exerted little impact on endogenous PEPCK1 levels in SIRT2-knockdown cells. The in vitro experiments further confirmed the in vivo data; sirtinol decreased liver PEPCK1 protein level and prevented pyruvate-induced blood glucose from increasing. Based on our results, the rate-limiting enzyme PEPCK1 is the primary target of sirtinol, and the inhibition of SIRT2 activity may play an important role in cell gluconeogenesis. Thus, SIRT2 may be a novel molecular target for diabetes therapy and may thus shed light on the underlying diabetes treatment mechanisms of sirtinol.
