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

The molecular mechanism in pancreatic β cells underlying hyperlipidemia and insulin insufficiency remains unclear. Here, we find that the fatty acid-induced decrease in insulin levels occurs due to a decrease in insulin translation. Since regulation at the translational level is generally mediated through RNA-binding proteins, using RNA antisense purification coupled with mass spectrometry, we identify a novel insulin mRNA-binding protein, namely, DDX1, that is sensitive to palmitate treatment. Notably, the knockdown or overexpression of DDX1 affects insulin translation, and the knockdown of DDX1 eliminates the palmitate-induced repression of insulin translation. Molecular mechanism studies show that palmitate treatment causes DDX1 phosphorylation at S295 and dissociates DDX1 from insulin mRNA, thereby leading to the suppression of insulin translation. In addition, DDX1 may interact with the translation initiation factors eIF3A and eIF4B to regulate translation. In high-fat diet mice, the inhibition of insulin translation happens at an early prediabetic stage before the elevation of glucose levels. We speculate that the DDX1-mediated repression of insulin translation worsens the situation of insulin resistance and contributes to the elevation of blood glucose levels in obese animals.
