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

In vitro exposure of rat pancreatic beta cells to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin release (2140 +/- 239 and 323 +/- 80 pg.islet-1.h-1 at glucose levels of 16.7 mmol/l in control and IL-1 beta-exposed islets, respectively, n = 7, p < 0.001). Cholera toxin (2 micrograms/ml) or pertussis toxin (0.5 microgram/ml) potentiated, as expected, glucose-induced insulin release in control islets, but, in addition, when added together with IL-1 beta, were able to prevent the IL-1 beta mediated inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (2087 +/- 301 and 1662 +/- 173 pg.islet-1.h-1, respectively, p < 0.05 vs islets exposed to IL-1 beta alone). To investigate the mechanism by which the toxins prevent the IL-1 beta effect, we then measured nitrite levels, glucose oxidation and Ca2+ uptake. Nitrite levels in the culture medium were 4.2 +/- 1.4 and 24.0 +/- 5 pmol.islet-1.24 h-1 in control islets and in IL-1 beta-exposed islets, respectively (n = 6, p = 0.05). In islets exposed to IL-1 beta and cholera or pertussis toxins, nitrite levels were 9.1 +/- 3 and 12.4 +/- 6 pmol.islet-1.24 h-1, respectively (n = 6, NS vs control islets). Glucose oxidation at 16.7 mmol/l glucose was 31.1 +/- 2.9 pmol.islet-1.120 min-1 in control islets and 16.8 +/- 2.7 pmol.islet-1.120 min-1 in IL-1 beta-treated islets (p < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
