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

purposeSodium-glucose transporters (SGLTs) are important targets for therapeutic intervention of type 2 diabetes. This study aims to evaluate the physiological influences of diabetes mellitus and the potential impacts of metformin and fluoxetine on SGLTs expressions.

methodsAlterations of SGLT1 and SGLT2 were measured in organs involved in glucose homeostasis (kidney, intestine, liver and pancreas) of streptozotocin (STZ) and high-fat diet (HFD) induced diabetic mice by western blotting and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) respectively.

resultsIn kidney, duodenal segments of intestine, liver, and pancreas of HFD diabetic mice, expressions of SGLT2 were all elevated compared to control mice. The level of SGLT1 was significantly increased in intestine, but was decreased in pancreas. SGLT1 expression in kidney was unaffected, and SGLT1 was undetectable in hepatocytes. Similar results were obtained in STZ diabetic mice. More importantly, here we noticed metformin decreased levels of SGLT2 in kidney, intestine, and pancreas of HFD mice markedly. Expressions of SGLT1 in intestine and pancreas were reduced by metformin as well. In contrast, fluoxetine increased abundances of SGLT2 and SGLT1 in kidney of HFD mice, but decreased SGLT1 expression in intestine.

conclusionsThe present study provided evidence that expressions of SGLT1 and SGLT2 were significantly modulated by diabetes mellitus as well as by metformin and fluoxetine, which indicated the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors might be impacted by these factors.
