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

introductionType 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is an auto immune reaction against insulin secreting beta cells. Exogenous insulin administration is the only standard treatment for T1DM. However, despite tight glycemic control many patients will develop chronic life-threatening complications. Recently, stem cell transplantation has been suggested as a novel treatment for eliminating the beta cell damage and promoting their regeneration by modulating auto-immunity. To our knowledge; this is the first preliminary report of placenta derived MSCs (PLMSCs) transplantation in juvenile T1DM.

methodAn Open label non-randomized phase 1 clinical trial was designed to evaluate the safety of PLMSCs transplantation in new onset juvenile T1DM (IRCT20171021036903N2). PLMSCs were manufactured in our clean room facility using a Xeno-free/GMP compliant protocol. The first series of patients (n = 4) received one dose of1 × 10

resultsSerious adverse events were not seen during 1 year follow-up. Partial remission and hypoglycemic attacks were happened one month after transplantation in two patients. ZnT8-Ab decreased till month 3 and then increased again in all patients. Anti Gad-Ab decreased till month 3 of follow up then increased. DISCUSSION: This preliminary report of our phase I clinical trial demonstrated the short term safety of PLMSCs transplantation in juvenile T1DM. To prove the long term safety and probable efficacy of this treatment more investigations are needed.
