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/hypothesisSimultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation is an established treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal failure, even though restored beta cell function may become affected by recurrent islet autoimmunity or graft rejection. We characterised infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from a pancreatic graft with normal endocrine function in a kidney-pancreas recipient with type 1 diabetes.

methodsThe pancreas graft was removed due to recurrent graft pancreatitis of unknown cause. Pancreas-infiltrating lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated and characterised phenotypically and functionally.

resultsCompared with PBMC, pancreas-infiltrating lymphocytes exhibited a distinct activation/memory phenotype and T cell receptor profile that were indicative of selective infiltration of the pancreas. Islet autoreactive CD8(+) T cells could be detected in the pancreas and were increased in frequency compared with PBMC. Additionally, an augmentation of CD8(+) CD28(-) regulatory T cells was observed in the pancreas; these induced expression of the inhibitory receptor immunoglobulin-like transcript-3 on antigen-presenting cells in a donor HLA class I-specific manner. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThese data demonstrate the simultaneous presence of regulatory and effector T cells in the pancreas allograft of a recipient with type 1 diabetes. They also indicate that circulating islet autoreactive T cells may reflect immunological processes in pancreatic tissue, even though their frequency in the periphery may lead to underestimation of their presence in the pancreas. Additional specificities were also present in the pancreas that were undetectable in the circulation.
