Cognitive Outcome After Islet Transplantation.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Severe or repeated hypoglycemia events may favor memory complaints in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Pancreatic islet transplantation (IT) is an alternative option to exogenous insulin therapy in case of labile T1D, implying a maintenance immunosuppression regimen based on sirolimus or mycophenolate, associated with tacrolimus, that may also have neurological toxicity. The objective of this study was to compare a cognitive rating scale Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) between T1D patients with or without IT and to identify parameters influencing MMSE. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study compared MMSE and cognitive function tests between islet-transplanted T1D patients and nontransplanted T1D controls who were transplant candidates. Patients were excluded if they refused. Results: Forty-three T1D patients were included: 9 T1D patients before IT and 34 islet-transplanted patients (14 treated with mycophenolate and 20 treated with sirolimus). Neither MMSE score ( Conclusions: This first study evaluating cognitive disorders in islet-transplanted T1D patients argues for the importance of glucose balance on cognitive function rather than of immunosuppressive treatment, with a favorable effect of glucose balance improvement on MMSE score after IT.
