Alpha the versatile: Guardians of the islets.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2019. 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
Recent progress in α-cell research has newly revealed its versatility including secretion of multiple hormones, trans-differentiation, and abundant proliferation. A recent report from the Kushner laboratory further provided direct evidence of active proliferation of α-cells in both T1D and non-diabetic control donors. α-cells are suggested to maintain both quality and quantity of islets by serving as 'guardians' of the islets.
