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

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease with complex pathogenic mechanisms. Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is a member of an important family of epigenetic modifications. An increasing amount of research indicates that HDAC4 may control DM by modulating the epigenetic and post-translational expression of numerous transcription factors and taking part in different signaling cascades. In this review, HDAC4 was reported to control the differentiation, growth, and function of pancreatic β-cells. Furthermore, HDAC4 regulates glucose metabolism by targeting GLUT4 and FOXO1 and further modulates insulin signaling pathways through cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling. Moreover, HDAC4 has also been implicated in the regulation of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetes osteoporosis, diabetic wounds, and diabetic encephalopathy. Therefore, HDAC4 is consider to be a viable therapeutic target for the treatment of DM and its complications. HDAC inhibitors and other targeted inhibitions of HDAC4 provide us with new ideas for developing novel intervention strategies. This article reviews the role of HDAC4 in diabetes mellitus and its complications.
