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

Diabetes mellitus is a global healthcare issue of epidemic proportions. At the root of these disorders, characterized by poor glucose regulation and insulin deficiencies, is the pancreatic beta cell and insufficient insulin signal transduction in peripheral tissues. Residual c-peptide secretion and persisting beta cells have been found in patients who have been living with type 1 diabetes for over 50 years. Thus, beta cell regeneration has been vastly studied in rodents, and many agents to expand beta cell mass are under rigorous investigation for the treatment of diabetes. Multipotent stromal cells (MSC), isolated from human bone marrow, have an immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative secretome that can aid in repairing damaged tissues, including pancreatic islets. MSC transplantation has been shown to reduce hyperglycemia and orchestrate islet repair in experimental diabetes models and is currently being assessed in clinical trials. While the immunomodulatory mechanisms of MSC are well-studied, the beta-cell-regenerative mechanisms are unknown. MSC likely play a regenerative role by signaling to resident progenitor or precursor cells in the pancreas; however, the decades-long controversy surrounding the origin of regenerated adult beta cells remains unresolved. Herein, we take a deep dive into the role of MSC in the treatment of diabetes and the potential cellular mechanisms behind the MSC stimulation of beta cell regeneration.
