ReviewXenotransplantation
A Review of Informed Consent for Porcine Islet Xenotransplantation to Treat Type 1 Diabetes.
Review in Xenotransplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeThe objective of this review is to map and synthesize the existing literature regarding informed consent for porcine islet xenotransplantation for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes.
methodsThe search was conducted in May 2025 through the following databases: PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Broad search strings were used to combine the text words "islet" AND "xenotransplantation" AND "consent" or similar permutations and combinations. Peer-reviewed articles were included if they were published between January 1990 and May 2025 and written in English. The final search results were manually exported to a reference manager system (Zotero), and the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram was created to depict the data extraction process.
resultsFrom 134 sources, 7 articles met eligibility for this scoping review. Although clinical studies have been sporadically conducted, there is a lack of literature describing informed consent for islet xenotransplantation.
conclusionThis review highlighted a scarcity of scholarly discourse and published guidance on informed consent specifically in the context of islet xenotransplantation.
