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

aims/hypothesisChronic exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to the HIV protease inhibitor nelfinavir induces insulin resistance, recapitulating key metabolic alterations of adipose tissue in the lipodystrophy syndrome induced by these agents. Our goal was to identify the defect in the insulin signal transduction cascade leading to nelfinavir-induced insulin resistance.

methodsFully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were exposed to 30 micro mol/l nelfinavir for 18 h, after which the amount, the phosphorylation and the localisation of key proteins in the insulin signalling cascade were evaluated.

resultsInsulin-induced interaction of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI 3-kinase) with IRS proteins was normal in cells treated with nelfinavir, as was IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity. Yet insulin-induced phosphorylation of Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), p70S6 kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 was significantly impaired. This could not be attributed to increased protein phosphatase 2A activity or to increased expression of phosphoinositide phosphatases (SHIP2 or PTEN). However, insulin failed to induce translocation of the PI 3-kinase effectors Akt/PKB and protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta) to plasma membrane fractions of nelfinavir-treated adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationWe therefore conclude that nelfinavir induces a defect in the insulin signalling cascade downstream of the activation of PI 3-kinase. This defect manifests itself by impaired insulin-mediated recruitment of Akt/PKB and PKC-zeta to the plasma membrane.
