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

ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2) is an important member of the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) family and is widely involved in many biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and migration. After activation by phosphorylation, ERK1/2 can be transferred into the nucleus and directly or indirectly affect the activity of transcription factors, thereby regulating gene expression. More and more studies have shown that ERK1/2 plays an important role in diabetes and its complications, such as insulin secretion, islet β cell function, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic nephropathy, renal fibrosis, lipogenesis, diabetic vasculopathy, etc. These effects reveal the complexity and diversity of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of diabetes, and its activation and inhibition mechanisms in multiple physiological and pathological processes provide potential targets for diabetes treatment. The purpose of this mini-review is to explore the key role of ERK1/2 in diabetes and the progress of research on targeted inhibitors of ERK1/2, which provides new strategies for the treatment of diabetes.
