Potential contribution of gut microbiota in the development of autoantibodies in T1D children carrying HLA-DRB1/DQB1 risk alleles: an experimental and in silico analysis.

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
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of insulin autoantibody (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA), and insulinoma-associated antigen-2 antibody (IA-2A) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) children based on the presence of predisposing HLA-II alleles. Additionally, to assess the sequence homology between autoantigens of islet cells and selected proteins derived from gut bacteria in terms of their binding capacities to HLA risk alleles, HLA-DRB1/DQB1 alleles were determined by PCR-SSOP in 111 T1D children (probands) along with 222 parents and 133 siblings. Autoantibodies were measured by ELISA, and in silico analysis was run as follows: protein extraction, homology and epitope prediction, peptide alignment, and HLA-peptide docking. Higher significant frequencies of DRB1*03:01, DQB1*02:01, and DQB1*03:02 alleles and DRB1*03:01 ~ DQB1*02:01 haplotype and lower frequencies of DRB1*11:01, DRB1*14:01, and DQB1*03:01 alleles were found in probands compared to parents and siblings. DRB1*11:01 ~ DQB1*03:01, DRB1*14:01 ~ DQB1*05:03, and DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02 haplotypes were significantly less frequent in the probands compared to parents. Out of 111 probands, 21 were seronegative, 90 tested positive for one autoantibody, and 15 showed the concurrent presence of three autoantibodies. Logistic regression analysis revealed that DRB1*04 ~ DQB1*03:02 haplotype was associated with the induction of GADA and IA-2A, while DRB1*11:01 ~ DQB1*03:01 was associated with seronegativity. Epitopes derived from GAD and gut bacteria showed strong binding capacities to HLA risk alleles. Due to the sequence similarities between gut bacteria-derived proteins and islet cell autoantigens and their potential for binding to HLA risk alleles, dysbiosis of gut microbiota can be considered another risk factor for the development of T1D, especially in genetically susceptible individuals.
