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

Qualitative and quantitatively appropriate insulin secretion is essential for optimal control of blood glucose. Beta-cells of the pancreas produce and secrete insulin in response to glucose and non-glucose stimuli including amino acids. In this manuscript, we review the literature on amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion in oral and intravenous in vivo studies, in addition to the in vitro literature, and describe areas of consensus and gaps in understanding. We find promising evidence that the synergism of amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion could be exploited to develop novel therapeutics, but that a systematic approach to investigating these lines of evidence is lacking. We highlight evidence that supports the relative preservation of amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion compared to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes, and make the case for the therapeutic potential of amino acids. Finally, we make recommendations for research and describe the potential clinical utility of nutrient-based treatments for type 2 diabetes including remission services.
