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 spontaneous autoimmune diabetes of the nonobese diabetic mouse and the BioBreeding diabetes-prone rat bears a striking similarity to human type 1 diabetes. For this reason it comes as a disappointment that interventions known to prevent the disease in the animal models proved ineffective in human trials. For an explanation I propose that, although the mechanism of beta-cell destruction is the same in the three species, this common mechanism may be the end point of different loss-of-tolerance pathways in different human patients, only two of which are represented by the two animal models. Research strategies to address this problem will require more attention to immune subphenotypes or their corresponding subgenotypes in the human and, possibly, the generation of additional mouse models of spontaneous disease.
