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 nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) was discovered by coincidence in the 1980s and has since been widely used in the investigation of T1D and diabetic complications. The current in vivo study was originally designed to prospectively assess whether hyperglycemia onset is associated with physical destruction or functional impairment of beta cells under inflammatory insult during T1D progression in diabetes-prone female NOD mice. Prediabetic 16- to 20-wk-old NOD mice were transplanted with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing reporter islets in the anterior chamber of the eye (ACE) that were monitored longitudinally, in addition to glycemia, with and without immune modulation using anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody therapy. However, there was an early and vigorous immune reaction against the GFP-expressing beta cells that lead to their premature destruction independent of autoimmune T1D development in progressor mice that eventually became hyperglycemic. This immune reaction also occurred in nonprogressor NOD recipients. These findings showed a previously unknown reaction of NOD mice to GFP that prevented achieving the original goals of this study but highlighted a new feature of the NOD mice that should be considered when designing experiments using this model in T1D research.
