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

Hepatic insulin sensitivity is critical for systemic glucose and lipid homeostasis. The liver is spatially organized into zones in which hepatocytes express distinct metabolic enzymes; however, the functional significance of this zonation to metabolic dysregulation caused by insulin resistance is undetermined. Here, we used CreER mice to selectively disrupt insulin signaling in periportal (PP) and pericentral (PC) hepatocytes. PP-insulin resistance has been suggested to drive combined hyperglycemia and excess lipogenesis in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, PP-insulin resistance in mice impaired lipogenesis and suppressed high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatosteatosis, despite elevated gluconeogenesis and insulin. In contrast, PC-insulin resistance reduced HFD-induced PC steatosis while preserving normal glucose homeostasis, in part by shifting glycolytic metabolism from the liver to the muscle. These results demonstrate distinct roles of insulin in PP versus PC hepatocytes and suggest that PC-insulin resistance might be therapeutically useful to combat hepatosteatosis without compromising glucose homeostasis.
