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

Long-term insulin treatment selectively stimulates secretion of the truncated form of apolipoprotein B (apoB), apoB-48, from primary rat hepatocytes in culture. Chronic treatment with insulin at 400 ng/ml causes a 3-fold increase in total apoB secretion, with apoB-48 making up about 75% of that increase. apo-B-48 is the protein product generated by translation of full-length apoB mRNA which has been modified by a posttranscriptional editing mechanism. Editing changes codon 2153 in the middle of the apoB-100 coding region from CAA, coding for glutamine, to UAA, a translation stop signal. We therefore examined the effect of insulin treatment on the ratio of edited to nonedited apoB mRNA in RNA isolated from primary rat hepatocyte cultures. There was a dramatic shift in the ratio of edited versus nonedited forms of apoB mRNA, from about 1:1 in untreated cells to 7:1 in insulin-treated cells. Insulin exerted a dose-dependent effect on apoB secretion and apoB mRNA editing over the range of insulin concentrations studied (0.4-400 ng/ml). In contrast, oleic acid, which also increased apoB (B-48 and B-100) secretion, had no significant effect on the ratio of apoB-48 to apoB-100 particles secreted and no effect on the proportion of edited apoB mRNA. Neither insulin nor oleic acid affects total apoB mRNA levels as assayed by Northern blot analysis. These data strongly suggest that insulin stimulates biosynthesis and secretion of apoB-48 in rat hepatocytes by regulating the proportion of edited apoB mRNA.
