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

We present in this paper an implantable closed-loop neuromodulation prototype system for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, which leverages pancreatic electrophysiology as both a sensing and therapeutic modality. Among candidate biomarkers, the fraction of plateau phase (FOPP) emerges as a robust indicator of glucose dynamics. Hence, the neural interface is optimized for low-power measurement of the electrical activity of the beta-cells with high accuracy in direct readout mode and long-term monitoring in FOPP mode. The experimental framework was established using a perfused pancreas model, first in mice and then optimized for rats, with glucose-dependent signals captured via a custom 16-channel neural interface. Results confirmed the feasibility of extracting FOPP in ex vivo settings, though signal complexity differed from isolated islets in vitro. Additionally, a fabricated 8-channel electrical stimulator with adjustable current levels and optimized charge balancing technique, demonstrated the capability to meet physiological requirements for beta-cell activation. While integration of AI-based classifiers for advanced FOPP-glucose correlation remains a future step, this study establishes the foundational experimental and technological evidence for a next-generation closed-loop neuromodulator.
