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

Transplantation therapy for humans is limited by insufficient availability of donor organs and outcomes are complicated by the toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs. Xenotransplantation is a strategy to overcome supply problems. Implantation of tissue obtained early during embryogenesis is a way to reduce immunogenicity of transplants. Insulin-producing cells originating from embryonic pig pancreas obtained very early following initiation of organogenesis [embryonic day 28 (E28)] engraft long-term in non-immune suppressed diabetic rats or rhesus macaques. Recently, we demonstrated engraftment of morphologically similar cells originating from adult porcine islets of Langerhans (islets) in rats previously transplanted with E28 pig pancreatic primordia. Our findings are consistent with induction of tolerance to a cell component of porcine islets induced by previous transplantation of embryonic pig pancreas, a phenomenon we designate organogenetic tolerance. Induction of organogenetic tolerance to porcine islets in humans with diabetes mellitus would enable the use of pigs as islet donors with no host immune suppression requirement. Adaptation of methodology for transplanting embryonic organs other than pancreas so as to induce organogenetic tolerance would revolutionize transplantation therapy.
