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

Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells results in type 1 diabetes (T1D), with pancreatic immune infiltrate representing a key feature in this process. However, characterization of the immunological processes occurring in human pancreatic lymphatic tissues is lacking. Here, we conduct a comprehensive study of immune cells from pancreatic, mesenteric, and splenic lymphatic tissues of non-diabetic control (ND), β cell autoantibody-positive non-diabetic (AAb+), and T1D donors using flow cytometry and CITEseq. Compared to ND pancreas-draining lymph nodes (pLN), AAb+ and T1D donor pLNs display decreased CD4+ Treg and increased stem-like CD8+ T cell signatures, while only T1D donor pLNs exhibit naive T cell and NK cell differentiation. Mesenteric LNs have modulations only in CD4+ Tregs and naive cells, while splenocytes lack these perturbations. Further, T cell expression of activation markers and IL7 receptor correlate with T1D genetic risk. These results demonstrate tissue-restricted immune changes occur before and after T1D onset.
