Single-Atom Ce-N-C Nanozyme Ameliorates Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Improving Glucose Metabolism Disorders and Reducing Oxidative Stress.

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.
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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a chronic metabolic disease has become a global public health problem. Insulin resistance (IR) is the main pathogenesis of T2DM. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance between free radical production and the antioxidant system, causing insulin resistance and contributing to the development of T2DM via several molecular mechanisms. Besides, the reduction in hepatic glycogen synthesis also leads to a decrease in peripheral insulin sensitivity. Thus, reducing oxidative stress and promoting glycogen synthesis are both targets for improving insulin resistance and treating T2DM. The current study aims to investigate the pharmacological effects of single-atom Ce-N-C nanozyme (SACe-N-C) on the improvement of insulin resistance and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms using HFD/STZ-induced C57BL/6J mice and insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. The results indicate that SACe-N-C significantly improves hepatic glycogen synthesis and reduces oxidative stress, as well as pancreatic and liver injury. Specifically, compared to the T2DM model group, fasting blood glucose decreased by 29%, hepatic glycogen synthesis increased by 17.13%, and insulin secretion increased by 18.87%. The sod and GPx in the liver increased by 17.80% and 25.28%, respectively. In terms of mechanism, SACe-N-C modulated glycogen synthesis through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway and activated the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway to alleviate oxidative stress. Collectively, this study suggests that SACe-N-C has the potential to treat T2DM.
