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

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinally derived insulinotropic hormone that is currently under investigation for use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. To investigate the Ca2+ signaling pathways by which GLP-1 may stimulate the secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta-cells, we examined its effects on the concentration of free intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) while simultaneously determining what action it exerts on ion channel function. Measurements of [Ca2+]i were obtained from single rat beta-cells and from beta TC6 and HIT-T15 insulinoma cells loaded with the Ca2+ indicator fura-2, and changes in membrane potential and current were monitored using the perforated patch clamp technique. We report a previously undocumented action of GLP-1 and analogs of cAMP (8-bromo-cAMP, Sp- or Rp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothionate triethylamine) to raise [Ca2+]i that is attributable to the activation of a prolonged inward current designated here as IcAMP. Activation of IcAMP is associated with an increased membrane conductance, membrane depolarization, and triggers large increases of [Ca2+]i. IcAMP is primarily a Na+ current that is blocked by extracellularly applied La3+ or by intracellular administration of Ca2+ chelators (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/acetoxymethyl, EGTA) and which exhibits a reversal potential of about -26 mV. We propose that IcAMP results from the opening of nonselective cation channels that are activated by intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP and which might play an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells.
