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

A better understanding of how sympathetic nerves impact pancreatic function is helpful for understanding diabetes. However, there is still uncertainty and controversy surrounding the roles of sympathetic nerves within the pancreas. To address this, we utilize high-resolution imaging and advanced three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques to study the patterns of sympathetic innervation and morphology in the islets of adult wild-type (WT) and diabetic mice. Our data show that more than ~30% of α/β-cells are innervated by sympathetic nerves in both WT and diabetic mice. Additionally, sympathetic innervated α/β-cells are reduced in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, whereas sympathetic innervated β-cells are increased in
