Nanowarming of vitrified pancreatic islets as a cryopreservation technology for transplantation.
Article in Bioengineering & translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Biobanking of pancreatic islets for transplantation could solve the shortage of donors, and cryopreservation of vitrified islets is a possible approach. However, a technological barrier is rewarming of large volumes both uniformly and rapidly to prevent ice formation due to devitrification. Here, we describe successful recovery of islets from the vitrified state using a volumetric rewarming technology called "nanowarming," which is inductive heating of magnetic nanoparticles under an alternating magnetic field. Convective warming using a 37°C water bath as the gold standard for rewarming of vitrified samples resulted in a decrease in the viability of mouse islets in large volumes (>1 ml) owing to devitrification caused by slow warming. Nanowarming showed uniform and rapid rewarming of vitrified islets in large volumes. The viability of nanowarmed islets was significantly improved and islets transplanted into streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice successfully lowered serum glucose. The results suggest that nanowarming will lead to a breakthrough in biobanking of islets for transplantation.
