Dihydrosanguinarine Enhances Glucose Uptake in Mouse 3T3-L1 Cells.
Article in ACS omega, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recently, more studies have aimed at identifying selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) modulators that transactivate the expression of PPARγ-dependent genes as partial agonists to improve diabetic symptoms with fewer side effects compared to classic PPARγ agonists such as thiazolidinediones. We found that dihydrosanguinarine (DHS) treatment induced preadipocyte differentiation and lipid droplet accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells, but this effect is weaker than that elicited by the full PPARγ agonist troglitazone. Furthermore, this effect was reduced by the addition of a PPARγ antagonist, indicating the involvement of PPARγ signaling. Our results suggest that the stimulatory effects of DHS on adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitivity are mediated by suppressing adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alpha, upregulating the expression of PPARγ and its target genes (particularly
