Intravital Microscopy for the Study of Hepatic Glucose Uptake.
Article in Current protocols, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The liver is central in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Indeed, impaired hepatic glucose uptake has been implicated in the development of hyperglycemia in type II diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, current approaches to evaluate glucose mobilization rely on indirect measurements that do not provide spatial and temporal information. Here, we describe confocal-based intravital microscopy (IVM) of the liver that allows the identification of hepatocyte spatial organization and glucose transport. Specifically, we describe a method to fluorescently label hepatic landmarks to identify different compartments within the liver. In addition, we outline an in vivo fluorescent glucose uptake assay to quantitatively measure glucose mobilization in space and time. These protocols allow direct investigation of hepatic glycemic control and can be further applied to murine models of liver disease. © Published 2021.
