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

The diabetic Chinese hamster is a well-established animal model for NIDDM with a defective glucose-induced insulin secretory response. In the pancreas of nondiabetic hamsters, the GLUT2 glucose transporter was localized in the plasma membrane of insulin-positive beta cells. At variance with the rat, immunoreactivity was also detected in the cytoplasm. Other islet cell types were not GLUT2 positive. GLUT2 immunoreactivity was already significantly reduced in beta cells from mildly diabetic animals in spite of a normal insulin immunoreactivity. In severely diabetic animals the majority of the beta cells had lost GLUT2 immunostaining. This observation was confirmed in a Western blot analysis of the GLUT2 protein in isolated pancreatic islets. Only beta cells that were densely immunostained for insulin were still GLUT2 positive. However, around 40% of the beta cells devoid of GLUT2 immunoreactivity were still insulin immunoreactive. Thus, the loss of GLUT2 immunoreactivity, which is an important component of the glucose recognition apparatus of the pancreatic beta cell, is an early indicator of beta cell dysfunction before the development of degenerative lesions or the loss of insulin immunoreactivity. GLUT2 loss may be important in the deterioration of glucose-induced insulin secretion in the diabetic Chinese hamster.
