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

Pancreas transplantation is a therapeutic option for patients with type 1 diabetes. Advances in immunosuppression have reduced immunologic failures, and these are usually categorized as chronic rejection. Yet studies in our cohort of pancreas transplant recipients identified several patients in whom chronic islet autoimmunity led to recurrent diabetes, despite immunosuppression that prevented rejection. Recurrent diabetes in our cohort is as frequent as chronic rejection, and thus is a significant cause of immunologic graft failure. Our studies demonstrated islet autoimmunity by the presence of autoantibodies and autoreactive T cells, which mediated ß-cell destruction in a transplantation model. Biopsy of the transplanted pancreas revealed variable degrees of ß-cell loss, with or without insulitis, in the absence of pancreas and kidney transplant rejection. Additional research is needed to better understand recurrent disease and to identify new treatment regimens that can suppress autoimmunity, as in our experience this is not effectively inhibited by conventional immunosuppression.
