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

backgroundJianpi Qinghua Fomula (JPQHF), a clinically proven prescription,has been applied to cure insulin resistance(IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) for more than 20 years. Here, we will unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms relevant to the therapeutic actions of JPQHF.

methodsHigh-fat(HF)diet-induced obesity(DIO)mouse were established in our research, along with insulin resistance. After the administration of JPQHF 5 or 6 weeks, the parameters of the glucose and lipid metabolism were measured. Flow cytometry and Luminex were utilized to assess the inflammation in small intestine,whilst Western blot was used to determine the relative expression levels of the MAPK pathway-related proteins. The glucose and lipid transporter of small intestine was assessed by immunofluorescence and ELISA, and the expression of insulin signaling pathway was detected by Western blot.

resultsThe metabolic phenotypes of DIO mouse were ameliorated after 6-week oral administration of JPQHF; Meanwhile,JPQHF downregulated levels of IL-1β,IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ but upregulated the ratio of M2/M1 macrophages in the small intestine. The elevated expressions of p-P38 MAPK/P38 MAPK、p-JNK/JNK and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 were reversed by JPQHF. Moreover, JPQHF enhanced expression of PI3K,p-AKT/AKT, p-IRS1/ IRS1, p-IRS2/ IRS2 and apoB48 in small intestine, and facilitated the translocation of GLUT2 to the basal side of small intestine epithelial cells.

conclusionJPQHF alleviates insulin resistance in DIO mice, and this effect may be associated with its restraining of inflammation of small intestine via attenuating MAPK pathway, and then diminishes small intestinal glucose and lipid absorption.
