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

An islet protein of M(r) 64000, identified as the gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)-synthesizing enzyme, glutamate decarboxylase, is a major target for antibodies in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. This enzyme is also expressed in brain and in some other tissues and may exist in multiple forms. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of antibodies from diabetic patients to recognize glutamate decarboxylase from rat islets, brain and other normal rat tissues. Glutamate decarboxylase was detected at high activity levels in brain and at lower levels in islets, kidney, liver, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, testis and ovary. The ability of antibodies in sera of diabetic patients to immunoprecipitate enzyme activity from detergent extracts of tissues was determined. Antibodies in sera from diabetic patients were found to bind the enzyme from islet and brain extracts, but bound less than 20% of the activity from other tissues. The ability of antibodies to immunoprecipitate the brain enzyme was significantly correlated with the presence of antibodies to the islet 64 kilodalton antigen. These studies show that the glutamate decarboxylase activity expressed in brain shares antigenic determinants with the islet 64 kilodalton antigen. Isoforms of the enzyme expressed in other non-neuronal tissues may be antigenically distinct and may lack determinants recognized by diabetes-associated antibodies.
