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

It is now well established that the transcription of several genes belonging to the glycolytic and lipogenic pathway is stimulated in the presence of a high glucose concentration in adipocytes and hepatocytes. We have previously proposed that glucose 6-phosphate could be the signal metabolite that transduces the glucose effect. This proposal has recently been challenged and both an intermediate of the pentose phosphate pathway, xylulose 5-phosphate, and metabolites of the later part of glycolysis (3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate) have been proposed. To discriminate between these possibilities, we have measured concomitantly, in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes, the expression of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) and S14 genes and the concentration of glucose metabolites. We have used various substrates entering at different steps of the glycolytic pathway (glucose, dihydroxyacetone) and the pentose phosphate pathway (xylitol). When compared with 5 mM glucose, 25 mM glucose induces a marked increase in both S14 and FAS gene expression, detectable as early as 2 h and peaking at 6 h. Increasing concentrations (1-5 mM) of xylitol and dihydroxyacetone in the presence of 5 mM glucose are also able to induce S14 and FAS gene expression progressively. Among the various glucose metabolites measured, glucose 6-phosphate, in contrast with xylulose 5-phosphate and metabolites of the lower part of glycolysis, is the only one that shows a clear-cut parallelism between its concentration and the degree of S14 and FAS gene expression. We conclude that glucose 6-phosphate is the most likely signal metabolite for the glucose-induced transcription of this group of genes.
