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

We recently established that hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs) are present in human islets and that T cells reactive to HIPs are found in the residual islets of organ donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we investigate whether HIP-reactive T cells are indicative of ongoing autoimmunity in patients with T1D. We used interferon-γ enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot analyses on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to determine whether patients with new-onset T1D or control subjects displayed T-cell reactivity to a panel of 16 HIPs. We observed that nearly one-half of the patients responded to one or more HIPs. Responses to four HIPs were significantly elevated in patients with T1D but not in control subjects. To characterize the T cells reactive to HIPs, we used a carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester-based assay to clone T cells from PBMCs. We isolated six nonredundant, antigen-specific T-cell clones, most of which reacting to their target HIPs in the low nanomolar range. One T-cell clone was isolated from the same patient on two different blood draws, indicating persistence of this T-cell clone in the peripheral blood. This work suggests that HIPs are important target antigens in human subjects with T1D and may play a critical role in disease.
