Review in Current diabetes reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.

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 is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting from the progressive immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells in genetically susceptible individuals, with the likely contribution of environmental factors, among which viruses have been extensively studied. The pathologic hallmark of the disease is insulitis-a process characterized by islet infiltration of immunocompetent cells that has been well characterized in animal models of islet autoimmunity, and to a lesser extent, in humans. Insulitis characterization has provided valuable information to gain insights into the disease pathogenesis. We review the recent literature on the viral contribution to beta-cell destruction and dysfunction in type 1 diabetes, with particular reference to the pathology of the pancreatic islet in humans and in animal models of the disease.
