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

Cytokines are thought to contribute to the induction of pancreatic beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The molecular mechanisms that underlie beta-cell death were investigated by studying cytokine-induced cell death in beta-cell lines. A combination of three cytokines (interleukin-1 beta, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma) induced apoptotic cell death in the mouse pancreatic beta-cell line beta TC1, as judged from the appearance of cells with hypodiploid nuclei and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. The same treatment also induced apoptosis in the mouse pancreatic alpha-cell line alpha TC1 and the NOD/Lt mouse beta-cell line NIT-1, although to a lesser extent than in beta TC1 cells. The abundance of endogenous Bcl-2 in beta TC1 cells was lower than that in the other two cell lines. Overexpression of human Bcl-2 in beta TC1 cells partially protected them from cytokine-induced cell death. These results suggest that apoptosis may be responsible, at least in part, for cytokine-induced beta-cell destruction and that Bcl-2 prevents apoptosis in pancreatic islet cells.
