Angiotensin(1-7) activates MAS-1 and upregulates CFTR to promote insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells: the association with type 2 diabetes.

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
Objective: The beneficial effect of angiotensin(1-7) (Ang(1-7)), via the activation of its receptor, MAS-1, has been noted in diabetes treatment; however, how Ang(1-7) or MAS-1 affects insulin secretion remains elusive and whether the endogenous level of Ang(1-7) or MAS-1 is altered in diabetic individuals remains unexplored. We recently identified an important role of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-activated Cl- channel, in the regulation of insulin secretion. Here, we tested the possible involvement of CFTR in mediating Ang(1-7)'s effect on insulin secretion and measured the level of Ang(1-7), MAS-1 as well as CFTR in the blood of individuals with or without type 2 diabetes. Methods: Ang(1-7)/MAS-1/CFTR pathway was determined by specific inhibitors, gene manipulation, Western blotting as well as insulin ELISA in a pancreatic β-cell line, RINm5F. Human blood samples were collected from 333 individuals with (n = 197) and without (n = 136) type 2 diabetes. Ang(1-7), MAS-1 and CFTR levels in the human blood were determined by ELISA. Results: In RINm5F cells, Ang(1-7) induced intracellular cAMP increase, cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) activation, enhanced CFTR expression and potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, which were abolished by a selective CFTR inhibitor, RNAi-knockdown of CFTR, or inhibition of MAS-1. In human subjects, the blood levels of MAS-1 and CFTR, but not Ang(1-7), were significantly higher in individuals with type 2 diabetes as compared to those in non-diabetic healthy subjects. In addition, blood levels of MAS-1 and CFTR were in significant positive correlation in type-2 diabetic but not non-diabetic subjects. Conclusion: These results suggested that MAS-1 and CFTR as key players in mediating Ang(1-7)-promoted insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells; MAS-1 and CFTR are positively correlated and both upregulated in type 2 diabetes.
