Trial report in Acta diabetologica, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03791567 (Expanded Access to Donislecel for Treatment Use), which is not on this map. Cited by 47 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.

Abstract

This report summarizes a 5-year phase 1/2 allogeneic islet transplantation clinical trial conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Ten patients were enrolled in this single center, open label, and prospective trial in which patients received 1-3 transplants. The first four subjects underwent islet transplantation with the Edmonton immunosuppressive regimen and the remaining six subjects received the UIC immunosuppressive protocol (Edmonton plus etanercept and exenatide). All 10 patients achieved insulin independence after 1-3 transplants. At 5 years of follow-up, 6 of the initial 10 patients were free of exogenous insulin. During the follow-up period, 7 of the 10 patients maintained positive C-peptide levels and a composite hypoglycemic score of 0. Most patients maintained HbA1c levels <6.0 % (42.1 mmol/mol) and a significantly improved β-score. In conclusion, this study demonstrated long-term islet graft function without using T cell depleting induction, with an encouraging outcome that includes 60 % of patients remaining insulin independent after 5 years of initial transplantation.
