Current and Emerging Assays for Measuring Human T-Cell Responses Against Beta-Cell Antigens in Type 1 Diabetes.
Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease caused by T-cell mediated destruction of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells. Currently, the development of autoantibodies is the only measure of beta-cell autoimmunity used in the clinic. Despite T-cells' well-accepted role in the autoimmune pathogenesis of human T1D, autoimmune T-cell responses against beta cells remain very difficult to measure. An assay capable of measuring beta-cell antigen-specific T-cell responses has been a long-sought goal. Such an assay would facilitate the direct monitoring of T1D-associated T-cell responses facilitating, earlier diagnosis and rapid evaluation of candidate immune therapies in clinical trials. In addition, a simple and robust assay for beta-cell antigen-specific T-cell responses would be a powerful tool for dissecting the autoimmune pathogenesis of human T1D. Here, we review the challenges associated with measuring beta-cell antigen-specific T-cell responses, the current assays which are used to achieve this and, finally, we discuss BASTA, a promising emerging assay for measuring human beta-cell antigen-specific CD4
