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

Noradrenaline inhibits in rat islets the stimulation of insulin secretion induced by glucose and its potentiation by palmitate, but the signalling system responsible remains unknown. We have tested the hypothesis that noradrenaline-induced inhibition is mediated by an elevation of cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels. The analogue 8-Br-cGMP decreases dose-dependently the potentiation by palmitate of glucose-induced insulin secretion, whereas it only slightly affects the proper effect of glucose. Similarly, it abolishes palmitate acceleration of glucose-induced 45Ca2+ uptake without modifying the sugar effect. Finally, 8-Br-cGMP completely inhibits the stimulation of the lipid synthesis de novo induced by palmitate, but not that caused by glucose alone. On the other hand, noradrenaline increases dose-dependently islet cGMP content, with alpha 2-adrenergic specificity. As noradrenaline-induced elevation of cGMP is sensitive to pertussis toxin, it probably results from alpha 2-adrenoceptor activation of islet guanylate cyclase through a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. It is concluded that the elevated cGMP levels mediate noradrenaline inhibition of lipid synthesis de novo, and hence of acceleration by palmitate of 45Ca2+ uptake and insulin secretion in the presence of glucose.
