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

The transcription factor carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) activates genes of glucose, fructose, and lipid metabolism in response to carbohydrate feeding. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses in rats with GalNac-siRNA-mediated suppression of ChREBP expression in liver reveal other ChREBP functions. GalNac-siChREBP treatment reduces expression of genes involved in coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis, with lowering of CoA and short-chain acyl-CoA levels. Despite suppression of pyruvate kinase, pyruvate levels are maintained, possibly via increased expression of pyruvate and amino acid transporters. In addition, expression of multiple anaplerotic enzymes is decreased by GalNac-siChREBP treatment, affecting TCA cycle intermediates. Finally, GalNAc-siChREBP treatment suppresses late steps in purine and NAD synthesis, with increases in precursors and lowering of end products in both pathways. In sum, our study reveals functions of ChREBP beyond its canonical roles in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism to include regulation of substrate transport, mitochondrial function, and energy balance.
