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

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) has recently emerged as an important regulator of glucose metabolism and vascular function, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Recently, we revealed that CaMKIV limits metabolic disorder and liver insulin resistance and regulates autophagy in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. In the present study, we demonstrated that CaMKIV was not only associated with improvement of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in ob/ob mice but also involved in the regulation of vascular autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Our in vitro data indicated that CaMKIV reversed autophagic imbalance and restored insulin sensitivity in palmitate-induced A7r5 cells with insulin resistance. However, the protective effects of CaMKIV were nullified by suppression of Akt, mTOR, or CREB, suggesting that CaMKIV inhibits autophagy and improves insulin signaling in insulin resistance cell models in an Akt/mTOR/CREB-dependent manner. CaMKIV reversed autophagic imbalance and insulin sensitivity in vascular tissues and vascular cells through Akt/mTOR/CREB signaling, which could be regarded as a novel opportunity for the treatment of insulin resistance.
