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

aims/hypothesisThe pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IFNgamma are critical molecules in immune-mediated beta cell destruction leading to type 1 diabetes mellitus. Suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS)-3 inhibits the cytokine-mediated destruction of insulinoma-1 cells. Here we investigate the effect of SOCS3 in primary rodent beta cells and diabetic animal models.

methodsUsing mice with beta cell-specific Socs3 expression and a Socs3-encoding adenovirus construct, we characterised the protective effect of SOCS3 in mouse and rat islets subjected to cytokine stimulation. In transplantation studies of NOD mice and alloxan-treated mice the survival of Socs3 transgenic islets was investigated.

resultsSocs3 transgenic islets showed significant resistance to cytokine-induced apoptosis and impaired insulin release. Neither glucose-stimulated insulin release, insulin content or glucose oxidation were affected by SOCS3. Rat islet cultures transduced with Socs3-adenovirus displayed reduced cytokine-induced nitric oxide and apoptosis associated with inhibition of the IL-1-induced nuclear factor-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Transplanted Socs3 transgenic islets were not protected in diabetic NOD mice, but showed a prolonged graft survival when transplanted into diabetic allogenic BALB/c mice. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationSOCS3 inhibits IL-1-induced signalling through the nuclear factor-kappaB and MAPK pathways and apoptosis induced by cytokines in primary beta cells. Moreover, Socs3 transgenic islets are protected in an allogenic transplantation model. SOCS3 may represent a target for pharmacological or genetic engineering in islet transplantation for treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
