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

The pro-apoptotic kinase Mammalian Sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1), an integral component of the Hippo pathway, is a key regulator of organ size, stress response, and tissue homeostasis; its aberrant hyperactivation is linked to multiple pathological disorders including diabetes. Here we show that MST1 deletion in mice resulted in improved glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, and restored pancreatic β-cell mass as a result of improved β-cell survival and proliferation in the combined high fat/high sucrose and streptozotocin (HFS/STZ) model of β-cell destruction and diabetes. Importantly, the glucose-lowering effects in the MST1-knockout (KO) mice could be accounted to the enhanced β-cell mass and improved insulin secretion without changes in insulin sensitivity. Metabolic and morphological data suggest that normalization of blood glucose and insulin secretion, islet architecture, and β-cell mass by MST1 deletion in response to diabetes-induced injury occurs as a result of improved β-cell survival and proliferation establishing MST1 as potent regulator of physiological β-cell turnover.
