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

Beta-cell regeneration represents a major goal of therapy for diabetes. Unravelling the origin of beta cells during pancreatic regeneration could help restore a functional beta-cell mass in diabetes patients. This scientific question has represented a longstanding interest still intensively investigated today. This review focuses on pioneering observations and subsequent theories made 100 years ago and describes how technical innovation helped resolve some, but not all, of the controversies generated by these early investigators. At the end of the 19th century, complete pancreatectomy demonstrated the crucial physiological role of the pancreas and its link with diabetes. Pancreatic injury models, including pancreatectomy and ductal ligation, allowed investigators to describe islet function and to assess the regenerative capacity of the pancreas. Three main theories were proposed to explain the origins of newly formed islets: (i) transdifferentiation of acinar cells into islets, (ii) islet neogenesis, a process reminiscent of islet formation during embryonic development, and (iii) replication of preexisting islet cells. Despite considerable technical innovation in the last 50 years, the origin of new adult beta cells remains highly controversial and the same three theories are still debated today.
