Conformation-dependent GAD65 autoantibodies in diabetes.
Article in Diabetologia, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
aims/hypothesisConformation-dependent autoantibodies directed against GAD65 are markers of Type 1 diabetes. In this study we aimed to determine whether the substitution of GAD65 with GAD67 amino acids would affect the binding of conformation-dependent GAD65 autoantibodies.
methodsWe used PCR-based site-directed mutagenesis to generate a series of mutated GAD65 cDNA constructs in which specific GAD65 coding sequences for regions of the protein critical for autoantibody binding were replaced with GAD67 coding sequences.
resultsThe introduction of a point mutation at position 517, substituting glutamic acid with proline, markedly reduced the binding of disease-associated GAD65 antibodies. The binding of GAD65 antibodies to the E517P mutant was reduced in the sera of all newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes patients ( n=85) by a mean of 72% ( p<0.0001) compared with binding to wild-type GAD65. Patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults ( n=24) showed a similar reduction in binding (79% reduction, p<0.0001). First-degree relatives who subsequently progressed to Type 1 diabetes ( n=12) showed a reduction in binding of 80% compared with a reduction of only 65% among relatives who had not progressed to disease ( n=38; p=0.025). In healthy GAD65Ab-positive individuals who did not progress to diabetes during a 9-year follow-up period ( n=51), binding to GAD65-E517P was reduced by only 28% compared with binding to wild-type GAD65. CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationDifferences in autoantibody binding to wild-type GAD65 versus GAD65-E517P may provide predictive information about Type 1 diabetes risk beyond that provided by the presence or absence of GAD65 autoantibodies. Lack of binding to mutant GAD65-E517P defines GAD65-positive individuals who are at higher risk of developing diabetes.
