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

OBJECTIVE AND

designWork in multiple organs has suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may play a role in insulin resistance. Additional studies have shown a negative role for TLR4 on retinal health. We have previously reported that β-adrenergic receptors can regulate both TLR4 signal transduction, as well as insulin signaling in the retina and in retinal endothelial cells. Thus, we hypothesized that TLR4 would regulate retinal insulin signaling. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe used endothelial cell-specific TLR4 knockout mice, as well as TLR4-overexpressing mice for these studies.

methodsWestern blotting and ELISA analyses were done for investigations of insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) serine 307, and Akt phosphorylation, as well as cleaved caspase 3 levels in the mouse retina.

resultsWe found that loss of TLR4 led to increased insulin receptor and Akt phosphorylation, as well as decreased IRS-1

conclusionsTherefore, these results suggest that TLR4 plays a key role in insulin signaling in the retina. Reduction of TLR4 levels may be protective to the retina.
