Minimal model analysis of insulin sensitivity and glucose-mediated glucose disposal in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic pancreas allograft recipients.

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
Decreased insulin sensitivity and glucose-dependent glucose disposal (glucose effectiveness) have been demonstrated in poorly-controlled Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. We have therefore examined the effects of successful pancreas transplantation that results in long-term physiologic normoglycaemia as measured by insulin sensitivity index and glucose effectiveness in 14 Type 1 diabetic recipients (Group 1) using the Bergman minimal model method. Their results were compared with those of five non-diabetic patients with kidney transplant alone (Group 2) and 10 healthy control subjects (Group 3). Mean plasma glucose levels were indistinguishable in Group 1 when compared to Groups 2 and 3. However, mean basal plasma insulin levels were two- and eight-fold greater in Group 1 (36 +/- 6 microU/ml) than in Group 2 (17 +/- 7 microU/ml) and Group 3 (4.5 +/- 0.6 microU/ml), respectively. Following intravenous glucose (t = 0 min) and tolbutamide (t = 20), peak incremental insulin levels were significantly (p less than 0.001) greater in Group 1 vs Groups 2 and 3. Mean insulin sensitivity index was 65% and 50% lower in Group 1 (2.89 +/- 0.45) and Group 2 (4.11 +/- 1.30), respectively, when compared to Group 3 (8.40 +/- 1.24 x 10(-1) min-1 (microU/ml)-1. In contrast, glucose effectiveness was similar in the three groups (Group 1, 2.48 +/- 0.26; Group 2, 2.05 +/- 0.21; and Group 3, 2.10 +/- 0.17 x 10(-2).min-1). We conclude that, despite prednisone-induced insulin resistance, normal glucose tolerance is achieved by hyperinsulinaemia and normalisation of glucose-dependent glucose disposal following pancreas-kidney transplantation in Type 1 diabetic patients.
