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

backgroundAMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a therapeutic target against type II diabetes (T2D). Synthetic sesquiterpene derivatives were investigated to identify novel AMPK activators as anti-diabetic drugs because the leading drugs like metformin and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) activate AMPK by inhibiting the synthesis of adenosine 5'-triphosphate and thus are associated with some side effects.

resultsWe identified WSF-CT-11 as an AMPK activator in HEK293T cells and found that WSF-CT-11 activates AMPK by the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), a Ca

conclusionWSF-CT-11 is a novel AMPK activator and potential drug against T2D without the side effects of metformin and TZDs.
