Influences of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c silencing on glucose production in HepG2 cells treated with free fatty acid.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2019. 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
backgroundElevation of exogenous free fatty acid (FFA) level leads to insulin resistance (IR) in liver, IR is manifested by elevated hepatic glucose production. We aim to study whether inhibition of endogenous fatty acid synthesis could decrease hepatic glucose production.
methodsLow-passage HepG2 cells derived from human liver tissue were cultured in medium supplemented with FFA to induce IR, the influences of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) silencing on glucose production of HepG2 cells were investigated, and genes responsible for fatty acid and glucose metabolism were detected by real-time PCR.
resultsCompared with HepG2 cells cultured in normal growth medium, glucose production of HepG2 cells treated by FFA was significantly increased {[(0.28 ± 0.01) vs (0.83 ± 0.02)] umol.ug
conclusionsSREBP-1c silencing further augmented glucose production of HepG2 cells treated by FFA significantly, genes responsible for fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis played an important role in this process. SREBP-1c functions not only as a lipid regulator but also plays an important role in regulation of glucose metabolism.
