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 in vitro production of stem-cell-derived islets (SC-islets) has brought forth the potential of transplanting these cells to restore glycemic control in people with diabetes. Nonetheless, alloimmune and autoimmune responses remain considerable challenges for a broad clinical implementation of β-cell replacement therapies. β-cell stress has been implicated in the onset of β-cell immunogenicity and death and is likely to contribute to β-cell failure following transplantation. We show that inducing stress and/or administering cytokines causes SC-islet apoptosis, cellular dysfunction, and an increased expression of β-cell stress- and immune-interaction-related genes. We then demonstrate that manipulating some of these genes results in enhanced protection of SC-islets from apoptosis in vitro.
