Atypical protein kinase C activation drives intestinal glucose excretion in diabetes mellitus.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Intestinal glucose excretion, defined as increased intestinal serum glucose uptake and secretion into the lumen, influences bariatric surgery-associated glycaemic control. Here, we investigate molecular mechanisms that activate intestinal glucose excretion. We evaluate altered transcriptomes in variable intestinal glucose excretion models and big data-based drug discovery systems. We show that protein kinase C (PKC) activation mimics transcriptome alterations observed during intestinal glucose excretion. Among PKC subfamilies, atypical PKC (aPKC) facilitates glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1)-mediated intestinal glucose excretion without inducing oncogenic proliferation. Intestinal aPKC activation via transposon expression vector induces serum glucose uptake into intestinal tissues and excretion into the lumen. Prostratin, a non-tumorigenic phorbol ester, activates aPKC and induces a similar effect on intestinal glucose excretion. We identify the prostratin and aPKC/GLUT1 signalling pathways as putative targets for treating diabetes, providing insights into the future development of antidiabetic and weight-loss drugs.
