New horizon of the combined BCG vaccine with probiotic and liraglutide in augmenting beta cell survival
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: An ideal anti-diabetic type-1 pharmacotherapy should combine abrogation of beta cell pyroptosis with enhancement of beta cell mass. Objectives: The study investigated the potential synergism from combining the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine with liraglutide (LIR) and probiotics in mitigating Streptozocin (STZ)-induced Type1diabetes mellitus in albino rats Results: The STZ-diabetic group exhibited significant elevation of fasting blood sugar and HbA1c with remarkably decreased serum insulin along with a considerable increase in pancreatic proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, NLRP3, IL-1β, and NFκB) and apoptotic markers (ASK-1, IAPP, TXNIP, and Caspase-3) with prominently compromised oxidative scavenging capacity in addition to structural alteration in the pancreatic histoarchitecture with decreased insulin immunostaining. Conversely, diabetic-treated groups, especially the BCG + LIR + probiotic group, were superior in amelioration of STZ-induced pyroptosis of pancreatic islets evidenced by a significant decline in inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic markers with a remarkable upgrade in redox balance, Furthermore, the mitigation in the altered histopathological picture of the pancreas with enhanced insulin immunostaining has been was mirrored on the significant improvement of glucose homeostasis parameters. Conclusions: Noteworthy, BCG combination with liraglutide and probiotic might be a promising repurposed therapeutic modality in the management of type-1 diabetes mellites
