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 role of protein kinase C (PKC) as a mediator of glucose-induced insulin secretion has been a subject of controversy. Glucose-induced translocation of PKC has not been reported, and the relevant PKC isoenzymes in islets have not been identified. To address these issues, we developed specific antibodies to the alpha, beta, and gamma isoenzymes of PKC. Western blots of homogenates of freshly isolated rat islets probed with these antibodies revealed that the major isoenzyme present is alpha-PKC. Islets were perifused for 15 min with either 2.75 mM glucose, 20 mM glucose, 20 mM glucose plus 30 mM mannoheptulose, 15 mM alpha-ketoisocaproate, or alpha-ketoisocaproate plus mannoheptulose. Quantitative immunoblotting of membrane and cytosol fractions showed that alpha-PKC translocated from the cytosol to the membrane in freshly isolated rat islets stimulated with either 20 mM glucose or 15 mM alpha-ketoisocaproate. Both the secretory response and the translocation of alpha-PKC were blocked by the addition of mannoheptulose, an inhibitor of glucose metabolism, in islets stimulated with glucose but not in islets stimulated with alpha-ketoisocaproate. These results support a role for alpha-PKC in mediating glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic islets.
