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

Microencapsulated islet transplantation was widely studied as a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, micro-encapsulated islet transplantation has the following problems-early dysfunction of the islets due to the inflammatory reaction at the transplantation site, and hyponutrition and hypoxia due to a lack of blood vessels around the transplantation site, and difficulty in removal of the islets. On the other hand, we proposed a cell transplantation technique called CellSaic, which was reported to enhance the vascular induction effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in CellSaic form, and to enhance the effect of islet transplantation through co-transplantation. Therefore, we performed islet transplantation in diabetic mice by combining three components-microencapsulated islets, MSC-CellSaic, and a mesh bag that encapsulates them and enables their removal. Mesh pockets were implanted in the peritoneal cavity of Balb/c mice as implantation sites. After 4 weeks of implantation, a pocket was opened and transplanted with (1) pancreatic islets, (2) microencapsulated islets, and (3) microencapsulated islets + MSC-CellSaic. Four weeks of observation of blood glucose levels showed that the MSC-CellSaic co-transplant group showed a marked decrease in blood glucose levels, compared to the other groups. A three-component configuration of microcapsules, MSC-CellSaic, and mesh bag was shown to enhance the efficacy of islet transplantation.
