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

Therapeutic interventions that increase plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I levels have been reported to reduce plasma glucose levels and attenuate insulin resistance. The present study asks if this is a direct effect of increased glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. Incubation of primary human skeletal muscle cells (HSKMCs) with apoA-I increased insulin-dependent and insulin-independent glucose uptake in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The increased glucose uptake was accompanied by enhanced phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), the serine/threonine kinase Akt and Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160). Cell surface levels of the glucose transporter type 4, GLUT4, were also increased. The apoA-I-mediated increase in glucose uptake by HSKMCs was dependent on phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-B1). Taken together, these results establish that apoA-I increases glucose disposal in skeletal muscle by activating the IR/IRS-1/PI3K/Akt/AS160 signal transduction pathway. The findings suggest that therapeutic agents that increase apoA-I levels may improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.
