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

backgroundActivation of mitochondrial fission and quality control occur early in the onset of insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that differences in mitochondrial dynamics, structure and bioenergetics in humans would explain the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

methodsFifty-eight sedentary adults (37 ± 12 years) were enrolled into one of three groups: (1) healthy weight (HW), (2) overweight and obesity (Ow/Ob), or (3) T2D. Body composition, aerobic capacity, and insulin sensitivity were assessed during a 3-day inpatient stay. A fasted skeletal muscle biopsy was obtained to assess mitochondrial functions. C2C12 myoblasts were transfected with FLAG-HA-USP15 and FLAG-HA-USP30 and harvested to assess mitochondrial dynamics and cellular insulin action.

resultsInsulin sensitivity and aerobic capacity were lower in Ow/Ob (132% and 28%, respectively) and T2D (1024% and 83%, respectively) relative to HW. Patients with T2D presented with elevated skeletal muscle mitochondrial fission (3.2 fold relative to HW and Ow/Ob), decreased fusion, and impairments in quality control. Mitochondrial content was lower in Ow/Ob (26%) and T2D (56%). USP13 (84%), USP15 (96%) and USP30 (53%) expression were increased with decreased Parkin and Ub activation in T2D alone. USP15 (R

conclusionMitochondrial fragmentation bypasses defects in mitophagy to sustain skeletal muscle quality control in patients with T2D.
