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 pathophysiologic importance of insulin resistance in diseases such as obesity and diabetes mellitus has led to great interest in defining the mechanism of insulin action as well as the means to overcome the biochemical defects responsible for the resistance. Vanadium compounds have been discovered to mimic many of the metabolic actions of insulin both in vitro and in vivo and improve glycemic control in human subjects with diabetes mellitus. Apart from its direct insulinmimetic actions, we found that vanadate modulates insulin metabolic effects by enhancing insulin sensitivity and prolonging insulin action. All of these actions appear to be related to protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibition. However, in contrast to its stimulatory effects, vanadate inhibits basal and insulin-stimulated system A amino acid uptake and cell proliferation. The mechanism of these actions also appears to be related to PTP inhibition, consistent with the multiple roles of PTPs in regulating signal transduction. While the precise biochemical pathway of vanadate action is not yet known, it is clearly different from that of insulin in that the insulin receptor and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase do not seem to be essential for vanadate stimulation of glucose uptake and metabolism. The ability of vanadium compounds to 'bypass' defects in insulin action in diseases characterized by insulin resistance and their apparent preferential metabolic versus mitogenic signaling profile make them attractive as potential pharmacological agents.
