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 1 diabetes in both humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice results from T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Linkage studies have shown that type 1 diabetes in NOD mice is a polygenic disease involving more than 15 chromosomal susceptibility regions. Despite extensive investigation, the identification of individual susceptibility genes either within or outside the major histocompatibility complex region has proven problematic because of the limitations of linkage analysis. In this paper, we provide evidence implicating a single diabetes susceptibility gene, which lies outside the major histocompatibility complex region. Using allelic reconstitution by transgenic rescue, we show that NOD mice expressing the beta(2) microglobulin (beta(2)M)(a) allele develop diabetes, whereas NOD mice expressing a murine beta(2)M(b) or human allele are protected. The murine beta(2)M(a) allele differs from the beta(2)M(b) allele only at a single amino acid. Mechanistic studies indicate that the absence of the NOD beta(2)M(a) isoform on nonhematopoietic cells inhibits the development or activation of diabetogenic T cells.
