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

Introduction: The importance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to pancreatic islets has been clearly demonstrated, as isolated islets grown in culture or transplanted, quickly lose viability and function after their matrix associations have been stripped away during the isolation process. Therefore, recapitulating the islet niche is a critical objective to move the field of islet transplantation forward. Methods: As a first step to recreating the islet microenvironment, we have recently developed a detergent-free decellularization method to obtain a decellularized solubilized ECM (dsECM) powder from human pancreas. We have also shown that this gentler method (compared to traditional detergent-based methods) allows for thorough preservation of the molecular fingerprint of the innate organ. Furthermore, incorporation of dsECM in alginate-microencapsulated human islets, showed a significant increase in insulin secretion, compared to both free and alginate-only encapsulated islets. However, it is also essential to test the interaction of dsECM with multiple cell types to establish its safety for transplantation. Results and discussion: Herein, we present a comprehensive
