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

backgroundBaihu Jia Renshen Decoction (BJRD) is used for diabetes mellitus (DM) management in clinics.

objectiveTo elucidate the potential mechanism of BJRD in treating type 1 DM (T1DM).

methodsT1DM models were established via intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Rats were subsequently randomly divided into the normal control (NC), model (MOD), insulin (INS), INS + BJRD-medium dose (MID), and INS + BJRD-high dose (HIGH) groups. The rats' body weight was measured. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the muscle and adipose tissues. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was utilized to verify the DEG levels.

resultsBody weights of MOD, INS, MID, and HIGH groups were significantly reduced as compared to those of NC group. Compared with NC group, MOD group showed significant Hspa1b and Notch3 downregulation and Camkk2 level elevation. Compared with MOD group, INS group showed further downregulation of the Hspa1b level, whereas MID group exhibited an increase. The Camkk2 levels in INS, MID, and HIGH groups were further reduced. The Notch3 levels did not significantly change in INS and MID groups, whereas that of HIGH group increased. Additionally, compared with NC group, MOD group demonstrated upregulation of the Myl1, Mylpf, Acacb, and Pygm levels and downregulation of Fasn level. Compared with MOD group, Myl1, Mylpf, and Pygm levels in INS, MID, and HIGH groups were down-regulated, whereas Fasn and Acacb levels were up-regulated.

conclusionBJRD may influence pancreatic β-cell function, thereby enhancing the function of the skeletal muscle and adipose tissues in a T1DM rat model.
