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

Background: For ages, botanical medicine has been used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1), a Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F.H.Chen metabolite, has been documented to possess antidiabetic action Objectives: We evaluated NGR1's effects on blood glucose Methods: Diabetes was induced in mice by streptozotocin. Glucose tolerance test was performed before and after NGR1 was administered intraperitoneally to diabetic animals for 4 weeks. Static and perifusion experiments were performed using isolated female BALB/c mouse islets. Preproinsulin ( Results: Treatment of diabetic mice with NGR1 improved their glucose intolerance. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study has shown that NGR1 ameliorates hyperglycemia in diabetic mice. NGR1 has a direct insulin secretagogue activity on mouse islets, stimulates insulin secretion at both basal and postprandial glucose concentrations, and activates PI3K/Akt pathway to induce insulin secretion. These results suggest that NGR1 may provide an alternative therapy to manage DM.
