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

During the last decade significant advances in gene therapy have made it possible to treat various pancreatic disorders in both animal models and in humans. For example, insulin gene delivery to non-beta-cell tissues has been shown to reverse hyperglycemia in diabetic mice, and islet transplantation, based on in vitro differentiation of beta cells and concomitant gene targeting to prevent host autoimmune responses, has become more feasible. Additionally, introduction of the glucokinase regulatory protein and protein kinase C-zeta have been shown to improve glucose tolerance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal models. Pancreatic cancer studies utilize several DNA-based strategies for tumor treatment including introduction of tumor suppressor genes, suppression of oncogenes, suicide gene/prodrug therapy, and restricted replication-competent virus therapy. Tumor-specific targeting is an important part of suicide gene therapy, and tumor-specific promoters are used for cell-specific targeting. Tumor-specific suicide gene therapy directed by the rat insulin promoter has been used to eliminate insulinoma tumors in a mouse model. This review compiles a compendium of information related to the treatment of pancreatic disorders using gene therapy.
