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

Diabetes is characterized by elevation of plasma glucose due to an insufficiency of the hormone insulin and is associated with both inadequate insulin secretion and impaired insulin action. The Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement Commemorates the work of Sir Frederick Banting, a member of the team that first used insulin to treat a patient with diabetes almost exactly one hundred years ago on 11 January 1922. This article is based on my Banting lecture of 2022 and concerns the mechanism of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, with an emphasis on the metabolic regulation of the KATP channel. This channel plays a central role in insulin release. Its closure in response to metabolically generated changes in the intracellular concentrations of ATP and MgADP stimulates β-cell electrical activity and insulin granule exocytosis. Activating mutations in KATP channel genes that impair the ability of the channel to respond to ATP give rise to neonatal diabetes. Impaired KATP channel regulation may also play a role in type 2 diabetes. I conjecture that KATP channel closure in response to glucose is reduced because of impaired glucose metabolism, which fails to generate a sufficient increase in ATP. Consequently, glucose-stimulated β-cell electrical activity is less. As ATP is also required for insulin granule exocytosis, both reduced exocytosis and less β-cell electrical activity may contribute to the reduction in insulin secretion. I emphasize that what follows is not a definitive review of the topic but a personal account of the contribution of my team to the field that is based on my Banting lecture.
