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

backgroundOur previous studies have shown that islet stellate cell (ISC), similar to pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) in phenotype and biological characters, may be responsible for the islet fibrosis in type 2 diabetes. To further identify the differences between PSC and ISC and for better understanding of the physiological function of ISC, we employed genome-wide transcriptional analysis on the PSCs and ISCs of Wistar rats.

methodPSCs and ISCs from each rat were primarily cultured at the same condition. Genome-wide transcriptional sequence of stellate cells was generated. The identified differentially expressed genes were validated using RT-PCR.

results32 significant differentially expressed genes between PSCs and ISCs were identified. Moreover, collagen type 11a1 (

conclusionsOur study identified and validated the differences between PSC and ISC in genome-wide transcriptional scale, confirming the assumption that ISC and PSC are similar other than identical. Moreover, our data might be instrumental for further investigation of ISC and islet fibrosis, and some differential expressed genes may provide an insight into new therapeutic targets for type 2 diabetes.
