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

Insulin secretion is a tightly regulated process that is vital for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. Although the molecular components of insulin granule trafficking and secretion are well established, how they are regulated to rapidly fine-tune secretion in response to changing environmental conditions is not well characterized. Recent studies have determined that dysregulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and aberrant mRNA splicing occurs at the onset of diabetes. We demonstrate that the RBP, RBFOX2, is a critical regulator of insulin secretion through the alternative splicing of genes required for insulin granule docking and exocytosis. Conditional mutation of Rbfox2 in the mouse pancreas results in decreased insulin secretion and impaired blood glucose homeostasis. Consistent with defects in secretion, we observe reduced insulin granule docking and corresponding splicing defects in the SNARE complex components. These findings identify an additional mechanism for modulating insulin secretion in both healthy and dysfunctional pancreatic β cells.
