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

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD). Two forms of GAD, with molecular weights of 67,000 and 65,000, have been cloned from separate genes. As pancreatic islet beta cell destruction DD is an autoimmune process mediated by T cells, we sought to determine if recombinant GAD67 was recognized by T cells in IDD subjects and particularly their first-degree relatives with islet cell antibodies known to be at risk for IDD. The central regions of human islet and brain GAD67 (amino acids 208-404) were cloned as fusion proteins with glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Proliferation of peripheral blood T cells in the presence of recombinant GAD67 was significantly higher in both at-risk relatives and recent-onset IDD subjects than in other autoimmune disease subjects and human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched healthy controls. Thus, 12 of 29 (41%) at-risk relatives and 11 of 29 (38%) recent-onset IDD subjects responded to GAD67, compared with 1 of 7 (14%) other autoimmune disease subjects and 1 of 23 (4%) HLA-matched controls. T cell responses to GST alone or to tetanus toxoid were not different between the groups. These findings demonstrate that GAD67 is a target autoantigen of T cells in IDD and suggest the possibility that GAD-reactive T cells may delineate asymptomatic subjects at increased risk for IDD.
