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

Hyperproinsulinemia in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is due to an increased release of proinsulin from pancreatic beta cells. This could reside in increased secretory demand placed on the beta cell by hyperglycemia or in the proinsulin conversion mechanism. In this study, biosynthesis of the proinsulin conversion enzymes (PC2, PC3, and carboxypeptidase-H [CP-H]) and proinsulin, were examined in islets isolated from 48-h infused rats with 50% (wt/vol) glucose (hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic, and increased pancreatic proinsulin to insulin ratio), 20% (wt/vol) glucose (normoglycemic but hyperinsulinemic), and 0.45% (wt/vol) saline (controls). A decrease in the islet content of PC2, PC3, and CP-H from hyperglycemic rats was observed. This reduction did not correlate with any deficiency in mRNA levels or biosynthesis of PC2, PC3, CP-H, or proinsulin. Furthermore, proinsulin conversion rate was comparable in islets from hyperglycemic and control rats. However, in islets from hyperglycemic rats an abnormal increased proportion of proinsulin was secreted, that was accompanied by an augmented release of PC2, PC3 and CP-H. Stimulation of the beta cell's secretory pathway by hyperglycemia, resulted in proinsulin being prematurely secreted from islets before its conversion could be completed. Thus, hyperproinsulinemia induced by chronic hyperglycemia likely results from increased beta cell secretory demand, rather than a defect in the proinsulin processing enzymes per se.
