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

Objective: Establishing HepG2 cell insulin resistance models using glucosamine, high glucose with high insulin and palmitic acid and briefly evaluating them to provide reliable models for insulin resistance research. Methods: Three methods were used to induce insulin resistance in HepG2 cells, and glucose uptake and consumption, glucose metabolism-related mRNA and p-AKT/AKT protein levels and RNA-seq were detected to compare the three induction methods. Results: Glucose consumption capacity was reduced after glucosamine and palmitic acid induction and did not change significantly after high glucose with high insulin induction. Glucose uptake capacity was not significantly changed after glucosamine and high glucose with high insulin induction and was reduced after palmitic acid induction. After high insulin stimulation, p-AKT/AKT levels were elevated in glucosamine and high glucose with high insulin induction and did not change significantly in palmitic acid induction. Conclusion: Treatment with 0.2 mM palmitic acid for 24 h is a simple and stable method to induce insulin resistance in HepG2 cells.
