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

Type 1 diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis have been largely seen as different, organ-specific diseases, which are managed by different medical specialties. Research studies on these diseases have for the most part followed independent tracks. In this Review, we highlight the latest epidemiological and genetic findings, which have identified many features common to both disorders. Experts consider it increasingly likely that the environment contributes substantially to this overlap. However, although genetic elements that are distinct to each disease probably determine the ultimate form of autoimmunity that is manifested, strikingly broad parallels are seen between the components of genetic risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis. Similarities and differences between these two diseases draw attention to shared disease pathways but insights into each disorder are providing mutual illumination of their pathogenesis.
