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

Single-cell RNA sequencing has paved the way for delineating the pancreatic islet cell atlas and identifying hallmarks of diabetes. However, pathological alterations of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain unclear. We isolated pancreatic islets from control and T2D mice for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and retrieved multiple datasets from the open databases. The complete islet cell landscape and robust marker genes and transcription factors of each endocrine cell type were identified. GLRA1 was restricted to beta cells, and beta cells exhibited obvious heterogeneity. The beta subcluster in the T2D mice remarkably decreased the expression of Slc2a2, G6pc2, Mafa, Nkx6-1, Pdx1, and Ucn3 and had higher unfolded protein response (UPR) scores than in the control mice. Moreover, we developed a Web-based interactive tool, creating new opportunities for the data mining of pancreatic islet scRNA-seq datasets. In conclusion, our work provides a valuable resource for a deeper understanding of the pathological mechanism underlying diabetes.
