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

Context: Incretin hormones, primarily composed of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), are secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) and play crucial roles in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. Notably, GIP accounts for two-thirds of the entire incretin effect. However, the secretion and function of GIP are impaired in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the regulatory mechanisms governing GIP secretion remain unclear. Objective: Our study aims to explore the role of an EEC-enriched protein, Secretagogin (SCGN), in the regulation of GIP secretion. Methods: We collected duodenal tissues from both humans and mice to observe the colocalization of SCGN and GIP in EECs. Additionally, we utilized human cohorts and gene-edited mouse models to investigate the effect of SCGN on GIP secretion. Our study included 128 subjects, comprising 64 individuals diagnosed with newly onset diabetes and 64 age- and sex-matched nondiabetic healthy controls. At the animal level, we employed leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice and Results: Our findings indicate that SCGN is abundantly expressed in GIP-producing K cells within the intestinal epithelium of both humans and mice. We observed a positive correlation between SCGN and GIP levels in postprandial states among patients with T2DM, db/db mice, and their healthy controls. Notably, Conclusion: Collectively, these findings demonstrate that SCGN is a key regulator of nutrient-induced GIP secretion.
