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

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist-based therapeutics for type 2 diabetes mellitus have attracted worldwide attention. However, there are challenges in the development of small molecule GLP-1R agonists owing to the complexity of ligand recognition and signal induction mechanisms. Here, we attained S6 using virtual screening and fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLIPR)-based calcium assays. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize S6, a novel small molecule GLP-1R agonist. Data from cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) indicated that S6 could bind potently with GLP-1R. Radioimmunoassay data showed that S6 potentiated insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and the insulinotropic effect was mediated by GLP-1R. Calcium imaging techniques suggested that S6 elevated the intracellular calcium concentration [(Ca
