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

Burn injury is associated with inflammatory responses and metabolic alterations including insulin resistance. Impaired insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1)-mediated insulin signal transduction is a major component of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle following burn injury. To further investigate molecular mechanisms that underlie burn injury-induced insulin resistance, we study a role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a major mediator of inflammation, on burn-induced muscle insulin resistance in iNOS-deficient mice. Full-thickness third-degree burn injury comprising 12% of total body surface area was produced in wild-type and iNOS-deficient C57BL/6 mice. Insulin-stimulated activation (phosphorylation) of IR, IRS-1, and Akt was assessed by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by skeletal muscle was evaluated ex vivo. Burn injury caused induction of iNOS in skeletal muscle of wild-type mice. The increase of iNOS expression paralleled the increase of insulin resistance, as evidenced by decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of IR and IRS-1, IRS-1 expression, insulin-stimulated activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt/PKB, and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle. The absence of iNOS in genetically engineered mice significantly lessened burn injury-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. In wild-type mice, insulin tolerance test revealed whole-body insulin resistance in burned mice compared with sham-burned controls. This effect was reversed by iNOS deficiency. Unexpectedly, however, blood glucose levels were depressed in both wild-type and iNOS-deficient mice after burn injury. Gene disruption of iNOS ameliorated the effect of burn on IRS-1-mediated insulin signaling in skeletal muscle of mice. These findings indicate that iNOS plays a significant role in burn injury-induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance.
