A metabolic redox relay supports ER proinsulin export in pancreatic islet β cells.
Article in JCI insight, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
ER stress and proinsulin misfolding are heralded as contributing factors to β cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes, yet how ER function becomes compromised is not well understood. Recent data identify altered ER redox homeostasis as a critical mechanism that contributes to insulin granule loss in diabetes. Hyperoxidation of the ER delays proinsulin export and limits the proinsulin supply available for insulin granule formation. In this report, we identified glucose metabolism as a critical determinant in the redox homeostasis of the ER. Using multiple β cell models, we showed that loss of mitochondrial function or inhibition of cellular metabolism elicited ER hyperoxidation and delayed ER proinsulin export. Our data further demonstrated that β cell ER redox homeostasis was supported by the metabolic supply of reductive redox donors. We showed that limiting NADPH and thioredoxin flux delayed ER proinsulin export, whereas thioredoxin-interacting protein suppression restored ER redox and proinsulin trafficking. Taken together, we propose that β cell ER redox homeostasis is buffered by cellular redox donor cycles, which are maintained through active glucose metabolism.
