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

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) arises from T cell-mediated destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells. Inflammatory triggers have been hypothesized to induce presentation of new epitopes for pathogenic T cells, but the naturally processed MHC-bound peptides presented by primary human islet β cells are largely unknown. We used mass spectrometry to identify native and post-translationally modified self-peptides presented by MHC proteins from human cadaveric islet samples treated in vitro with cytokines to identify epitopes in an inflamed pancreas. Of >4,300 islet peptides presented by 60 different MHC molecules, we identified 28 autoimmune epitopes targeted by T cells from patients with T1D, 31 additional epitopes from previously identified autoantigens, and 100 additional candidate autoantigens. The epitopes derive from inflammation, unfolded protein response, and secretory hormone processing pathways. These results identify naturally processed islet peptides targeted by autoimmune T cells in T1D and provide a resource for investigating T1D etiology and progression.
