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

Caspase recruitment domain containing protein 9 (CARD9) plays key regulatory role(s) in innate and adaptive immune responses. Recent evidence implicates CARD9 in the onset of metabolic diseases including insulin resistance. However, potential contributory roles of CARD9 in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) remain unknown. Herein, we report that CARD9 is expressed in human islets, rat islets, mouse islets and clonal INS-1 832/13 cells. Subcellularly, CARD9 is predominantly cytosolic (~75%) in INS-1 832/13 cells. siRNA-mediated depletion of CARD9 expression significantly (~50%) suppressed GSIS in INS-1 832/13 cells. Interestingly, glucose-induced activation of Rac1, a small G-protein, which is a requisite for GSIS to occur, is unaffected in CARD9-si transfected cells, suggesting that CARD9-mediates GSIS in a Rac1-independent fashion. Furthermore, insulin secretion promoted by KCl or mastoparan (a global G protein activator), remained resistant to CARD9 depletion in INS-1 832/13 cells. In addition, pharmacological inhibition (BRD5529) of interaction between CARD9 and TRIM62, its ubiquitin ligase, exerted no significant effects on GSIS. Lastly, depletion of CARD9 prevented glucose-induced p38, not ERK1/2 phosphorylation in beta cells. Based on these observations, we propose that CARD9 might regulate GSIS via a Rac1-independent and p38-dependent signaling module.
