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

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists elicit diuresis and natriuresis in humans and rodents. However, little is known about their interactions with the bodies hormonal systems that control fluid homeostasis. We performed a single center, open-label, before-and-after study and discovered that liraglutide reduces plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels in healthy humans. By quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic investigation of the rat pituitary gland, we detail time- and sex-dependent modifications to synaptic proteins mediated by liraglutide. We developed an in vitro AVP luciferase assay to assess the impact of synaptic protein phosphorylation on AVP secretion. We used this assay to identify synaptic protein phosphosites that influence AVP release and liraglutide-mediated sex differences in AVP release. Investigation of AVP downstream signaling pathways in the kidney revealed posttranslational changes to the crucial AVP-regulated water channel aquaporin 2. Thus, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist modulation of AVP release may be responsible for cardiovascular and renal changes observed in patients.
