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

George Eisenbarth devoted his life to understanding the basic immunology of the autoimmune polyglandular syndromes and type 1 diabetes, while providing exceptional clinical care to individuals afflicted with these disorders. Over the last 5 years, I was privileged to know George Eisenbarth as a mentor, colleague, and friend. His enthusiasm for science and specifically understanding the basic immunology of type 1 diabetes was infectious. George was the first to initially hypothesize that type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disorder. He made diabetes a predictable disease by developing biochemical assays to measure islet autoantibodies and provided this technology worldwide to researchers and the medical community. His work identifying and detecting islet autoantibodies allowed for clinical intervention trials aimed at preventing type 1 diabetes. George worked fervently to prevent the disease. During my time as a fellow in George's laboratory and faculty member at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, we focused our efforts for diabetes prevention at the trimolecular complex (human leukocyte antigen molecule, self-peptide, and T cell receptor), which plays a pivotal role in diabetes pathogenesis. It is our belief that targeting this complex with safe and specific therapies will lead to the prevention of type 1 diabetes and an improved understanding as to why diabetes develops.
