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

Investigations in the BB rat and the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse have provided substantial evidence for the involvement of the monocyte/macrophage system in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, it is not known whether monocytes play the same role in the pathogenesis of human type 1 diabetes. We investigated this problem in a longitudinal study of 29 recent-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus patients. Monocyte chemotaxis, phagocytosis and superoxide production as well as metabolic and haematological parameters were studied immediately after diagnosis and 6 months later. At diagnosis the patients had activated casein and C5a chemotaxis (casein 70 +/- 9 versus 150 +/- 5 (mean +/- s.e.m.), P < 0.001; C5a 137 +/- 10 versus 158 +/- 5, P < 0.05 (activation immobilizes monocytes, reducing the measured values)), and activated superoxide production (3.6 +/- 0.3 versus 3.0 +/- 0.3, P < 0.05). After 6 months casein chemotaxis (115 +/- 16 versus 150 +/- 5, P < 0.05) and Candida phagocytosis (3.3 +/- 0.1 versus 2.8 +/- 0.2, P < 0.001) were still activated. There was no correlation with other clinical or paraclinical parameters. We conclude that the circulating monocytes in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients are activated. It is reasonable to expect that monocytes at the local site of inflammation in pancreas are even further activated. This could play a pathogenic role in beta cell destruction.
