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

Most patients with type 1 diabetes rely on multiple daily insulin injections to maintain blood glucose control. However, insulin injections carry the risk of inducing hypoglycemia and do not eliminate diabetic complications. We sought to develop and evaluate a regulatable cell-based system for delivery of insulin to treat diabetes. We generated two intestinal cell lines in which human insulin expression is controlled by mifepristone. Insulin mRNA expression was dependent on the mifepristone dose and incubation time and cells displayed insulin and C-peptide immunoreactivity and glucose-induced insulin release following mifepristone treatment. Cell transplantation followed by mifepristone administration reversed streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in mice, and this effect was dependent on the mifepristone dose delivered. These data support the notion that engineering regulatable insulin expression within a cell already equipped for regulated secretion may be efficacious for the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes.
