Review in Current diabetes reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.

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 biology and properties of dendritic cells (DCs) have been intensely studied in the research areas of infectious diseases, tumor immunology, and vaccine development. This unique subset of immune cells has recently also moved to the center of interest for basic and clinical research in autoimmunity, owing not only to the extraordinary importance of DCs in the initiation and sustenance of adaptive immune responses, but also to more recent discoveries about their profound ability to control and downregulate ongoing T-cell responses. We review current progress of using DCs in mice for induction and propagation of autoimmune T-cell responses and their therapeutic potential to dampen or even stop beta-cell-specific autoimmunity. Finally, we offer our perspective on how basic research progress in DC technology, mostly from mouse models, may translate into emerging diagnostic and therapeutic applications for human type 1 diabetes.
