Article in American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Cellular mechanisms causing insulin resistance (IR) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are poorly understood. One potential mechanism is that CKD-induced inflammation activates the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) in muscle. We uncovered increased p-Stat3 in muscles of mice with CKD or mice fed high-fat diet (HFD). Activated Stat3 stimulates the expression of Fbxo40, a muscle-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase that stimulates ubiquitin conjugation leading to degradation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). Evidence that Stat3 activates Fbxo40 includes
