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

The paucity of human donors limits broadened application of β-cell replacement therapy. Insulin-producing cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have recently been investigated clinically as a feasible surrogate to primary tissue. Herein, we examine the long-term efficacy of hESC-derived pancreatic endoderm cells (PECs) to maintain normoglycemia posttransplant and characterize the phenotype of the PEC grafts. Mice with chemically induced diabetes were transplanted with PECs into the subcutaneous device-less site. Transplant function was assessed through nonfasting blood glucose measurements, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance testing (IPGTT), and human C-peptide secretion for 517 days. Explanted grafts were assessed for ex vivo function and immunohistochemically. All PEC recipients (
