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

background and purposeQuinic acid (QA) is an abundant natural compound from plant sources which may improve metabolic health. However, little attention has been paid to its effects on pancreatic beta-cell functions, which contribute to the control of metabolic health by lowering blood glucose. Strategies targeting beta-cell signal transduction are a new approach for diabetes treatment. This study investigated the efficacy of QA to stimulate beta-cell function by targeting the basic molecular machinery of metabolism-secretion coupling. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We measured bioenergetic parameters and insulin exocytosis in a model of insulin-secreting beta-cells (INS-1E), together with Ca KEY

resultsQA triggered transient cytosolic Ca CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: QA modulated intracellular Ca
