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.

Abstract

In spite of intensive treatment Type 1 diabetes leads to serious complications. Preservation of residual beta cell function makes the disease milder, facilitates treatment, prevents complications and increase survival. So far immune interventions have had limited effect, and some serious adverse events and risks. In an open pilot trial we aimed to improve efficacy of GAD-alum treatment using lymph-node administration in combination with oral vitamin D. Here we report the clinical effect and focus on biomarkers for response to treatment. Patients (n = 12) aged 12 to 24 years with recent onset of Type 1 diabetes received 4 μg GAD-alum into lymph-node at day 30, 60, and 90, and oral Vitamin D 2000 U/d, days 1 to 120. Beta cell function was estimated by Mixed Meal Tolerance Tests. GADA, GADA subclasses, GAD Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT02352974.
