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 the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PKC) in cholinergic potentiation of insulin release was investigated by measuring islet PKC activity and insulin secretion in response to carbachol (CCh), a cholinergic agonist. CCh caused a dose-dependent increase in insulin secretion from cultured rat islets at stimulatory glucose concentrations (greater than or equal to 7 mM), with maximal effects observed at 100 microM. Short-term exposure (5 min) of islets to 500 microM-CCh at 2 mM- or 20 mM-glucose resulted in redistribution of islet PKC activity from a predominantly cytosolic location to a membrane-associated form. Prolonged exposure (greater than 20 h) of islets to 200 nM-phorbol myristate acetate caused a virtual depletion of PKC activity associated with the islet cytosolic fraction. Under these conditions of PKC down-regulation, the potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by CCh (500 microM) was significantly decreased, but not abolished. CCh stimulated the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids in both normal and PKC-depleted islets, as assessed by the generation of radiolabelled inositol phosphates. These results suggest that the potentiation of glucose-induced insulin secretion by cholinergic agonists is partly mediated by activation of PKC as a consequence of phospholipid hydrolysis.
