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

purposeExcessive formation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been implicated in the development of insulin resistance in obesity and type-2 diabetes. In skeletal muscle, chronic exposure to TNF-α impairs insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and insulin signaling. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of enzymatic egg white hydrolysate (EWH) and its responsible peptide, IRW, on TNF-α-induced insulin resistance and the underlying molecular mechanisms using rat skeletal muscle cells (L6 cells).

methodsInsulin resistance was induced by treating L6 cells with 5 ng/ml TNF-α for 24 h. Effects of EWH and IRW on glucose uptake were detected by glucose uptake assay, glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation by immunofluorescence, and western blot, while insulin-signaling pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were investigated using western blot.

resultsAdding both EWH and IRW significantly improved glucose uptake in TNF-α-treated cells, increased activation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1) tyrosine residue and protein kinase B (Akt), whereas decreased activation of IRS-1 serine residue. In addition, TNF-α-induced activation of p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) 1/2 were decreased by either EWH or IRW treatment.

conclusionEWH and IRW improve impaired insulin sensitivity by down-regulating the activation of p38 and JNK1/2 in TNF-α-treated skeletal muscle cells.
