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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a global health crisis, characterized by insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances. Current treatments, such as insulin and metformin, often fail to address the dual challenges of β-cell preservation and insulin resistance, leading to suboptimal long-term outcomes. Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) has recently gained attention as a new promising therapeutic target due to its unique ability to regulate glucose homeostasis, enhance insulin sensitivity, and protect β-cells without inducing hypoglycemia. This review critically examines the mechanisms of FGF1 action, including its signaling pathways, interactions with metabolic regulators, and roles in key organs involved in glucose metabolism. Additionally, we summarize findings from preclinical and clinical studies and evaluate the challenges associated with its therapeutic application, including pharmacokinetic limitations, delivery strategies, and long-term safety concerns. By addressing these issues, FGF1 holds the potential to advance beyond symptom management to become a disease-modifying therapy for T2DM.
