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

The time-dependent potentiation (TDP) of insulin release or priming effect exerted by glucose was evaluated in the islets of Langerhans of mature and old rats. Islets isolated from 12- and 26-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats and incubated for two consecutive 60-min periods in the presence of various stimulating agents were unable to enhance their insulin responsiveness significantly during the second incubation period and showed other abnormalities in their sensitivity to secretagogues compared with islets from 3-month-old animals. The priming action of glucose plus arginine or isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) was not observed in islets from 12-month-old rats, but surprisingly, islets from senescent rats showed a restoration of the beta-cell memory in the presence of IBMX. Interestingly, the islets isolated from 2-month-old animals previously exposed to an intravenous glucose load in vivo released approximately twice as much insulin as the islets taken from fed rats not subjected to the load. This potentiation exerted by the intravenous glucose administration was reduced but not abolished in the islets of glucose-intolerant, 12-month-old rats. In conclusion, the glucose TDP of insulin secretion is impaired in islets of mature and old rats, confirming an early loss of sensitivity of beta-cells to secretagogues during aging.
