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

Inflammation is a pathological feature of the pancreatic islet in type 1 and 2 diabetes, contributing to islet endocrine cell failure and the onset of hyperglycaemia in both diseases. Indeed, numerous immune targets have recently been found to be altered in type 2 diabetes, but few have yet to be translated to the clinic. Taylor-Fishwick and colleagues aimed to change this by performing proof-of-concept studies investigating the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors of 12-lipoxygenase in rodent and human beta cells exposed to proinflammatory cytokines. The results of these studies, published in this issue of Diabetologia (DOI: 10.1007/s00125-014-3452-0), build on a wealth of preclinical data that have implicated 12-lipoxygenase in rodent models of type 1 and 2 diabetes. While there remain some unanswered mechanistic questions regarding how cytokines regulate 12-lipoxygenase activation and the downstream consequences of activation, it is hoped that future studies with newly identified selective inhibitors may overcome the in vitro limitations of this study and allow for the eventual clinical translation of these highly interesting findings.
