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

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disease, defined by insulin resistance and insufficient insulin secretion to maintain normoglycemia. Amyloidogenic aggregates are a hallmark of T2DM patients; they are cytotoxic for the insulin producing β-cells, and cause inflammasome-dependent secretion of IL-1β. To avoid the associated β-cell loss and inflammation in advanced stage T2DM, we developed a novel monoclonal therapy targeting the major component of aggregates, islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). The here described monoclonal antibody (mAb) m81, specific for oligomeric and fibrils, but not for soluble free IAPP, is able to prevent oligomer growth and aggregate formation in vitro, and blocks islet inflammation and disease progression in vivo. Collectively, our data show that blocking fibril formation and prevention of new amyloidogenic aggregates by monoclonal antibody therapy may be a potential therapy for T2DM.
