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

Islet cell transplantation has been limited most by poor graft survival. Optimizing the site of transplantation could improve clinical outcomes by minimizing required donor cells, increasing graft integration, and simplifying the transplantation and monitoring process. In this article, we review the history and significant human and animal data for clinically relevant sites, including the liver, spleen, and kidney subcapsule, and identify promising new sites for further research. While the liver was the first studied site and has been used the most in clinical practice, the majority of transplanted islets become necrotic. We review the potential causes for graft death, including the instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction, exposure to immunosuppressive agents, and low oxygen tension. Significant research exists on alternative sites for islet cell transplantation, suggesting a promising future for patients undergoing pancreatectomy.
