Infectious complications of pancreatic islet transplantation: clinical experience and unanswered questions.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Pancreatic islet transplantation is an evolving treatment modality for type I diabetes mellitus. While the field has advanced significantly over the course of the past three decades, our understanding of the infectious complications of pancreatic islet transplantation remains quite limited. This review aims to describe the current literature relating to infectious complications of pancreatic islet transplantation, including the role of microbiologically contaminated islet preparations in disease pathogenesis, our current understanding of the epidemiology and outcomes of cytomegalovirus and other infectious complications of pancreatic islet transplantation, and infectious concerns related to the use of porcine pancreatic islet cell xenografts. This review also highlights unanswered clinical questions and suggests areas of future research to mitigate infectious complications in recipients of islet transplantation.
