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

Aloe vera L has been shown to possess hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects on type 2 diabetic patients, and its major benefits may be linked to barbaloin, which is a major component of Aloe vera L. This study focused on investigating the potential effects and underlying mechanisms of barbaloin on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The db/+ diabetic mice with GDM were daily orally administered with barbaloin or metformin during the gestational period. The results demonstrated that administration of barbaloin significantly reduced blood glucose levels and increased insulin levels in GDM mice. We further found that barbaloin treatment reduced inflammatory response and ROS levels in the liver. Finally, we revealed that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) / peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) signaling pathway was involved in BAT-mediated beneficial effects on mice with GDM. Our study suggested that barbaloin exerted hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects on GDM mice, via, at least in part, modulation of AMPK/ PGC-1α signaling in GDM mice.
