JunD Regulates Pancreatic β-Cells Function by Altering Lipid Accumulation.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 impairment of pancreatic β-cells function is partly caused by lipotoxicity, which aggravates the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Activator Protein 1 member JunD modulates apoptosis and oxidative stress. Recently, it has been found that JunD regulates lipid metabolism in hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes. Here, we studied the role of JunD in pancreatic β-cells. The lipotoxic effects of palmitic acid on INS-1 cells were measured, and JunD small-interfering RNA was used to assess the effect of JunD in regulating lipid metabolism and insulin secretion. The results showed that palmitic acid stimulation induced the overexpression of JunD, impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and increased intracellular lipid accumulation of β-cells. Moreover, the gene expression involved in lipid metabolism (Scd1, Fabp4, Fas, Cd36, Lpl, and Plin5) was upregulated, while gene expression involved in the pancreatic β-cells function (such as Pdx1, Nkx6.1, Glut2, and Irs-2) was decreased. Gene silencing of JunD reversed the lipotoxic effects induced by PA on β-cells. These results suggested that JunD regulated the function of pancreatic β-cells by altering lipid accumulation.
