Local Dialogues Between the Endocrine and Exocrine Cells in the Pancreas.
Review in Diabetes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
For many years, it has been taught in medical textbooks that the endocrine and exocrine parts of the pancreas have separate blood supplies that do not mix. Therefore, they have been studied by different scientific communities, and patients with pancreatic disorders are treated by physicians in different medical disciplines, where endocrine and exocrine function are the focus of endocrinologists and gastroenterologists, respectively. The conventional model that every islet in each pancreatic lobule receives a dedicated arterial blood supply was first proposed in 1932, and it has been inherited to date. Recently, in vivo intravital recording of red blood cell flow in mouse islets as well as in situ structural analysis of 3D pancreatic vasculature from hundreds of islets provided evidence for preferentially integrated pancreatic blood flow in six mammalian species. The majority of islets have no association with the arteriole, and there is bidirectional blood exchange between the two segments. Such vascularization may allow an entire downstream region of islets and acinar cells to be simultaneously exposed to a topologically and temporally specific plasma content, which could underlie an adaptive sensory function as well as common pathogeneses of both portions of the organ in pancreatic diseases, including diabetes.
