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

A growing body of evidence suggests that active oxygen is an important participant in the destruction of the pancreatic beta cell, which, in turn, leads to type I or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Consequently, genetic factors predisposing susceptibility to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus may include those that determine active oxygen metabolism. A direct test of this hypothesis is provided by a transgenic model for increased activity of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1), a principal radical scavenging enzyme. Here we demonstrate that elevated levels of this enzyme provided by a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase transgene enhance the tolerance of pancreatic beta cells to oxidative stress-induced diabetogenesis. These results show that this transgenic approach holds promise for revealing the role of reactive oxygen in autoimmune models of diabetogenesis as well as in other models of disease pathology in which active oxygen has been implicated.
