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

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based conformal coating (CC) encapsulation of transplanted islets is a promising β cell replacement therapy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes without chronic immunosuppression because it minimizes capsule thickness, graft volume, and insulin secretion delay. However, we show here that our original CC method, the direct method, requiring exposure of islets to low pH levels and inclusion of viscosity enhancers during coating, severely affected the viability, scalability, and biocompatibility of CC islets in nonhuman primate preclinical models of type 1 diabetes. We therefore developed and validated in vitro and in vivo, in several small- and large-animal models of type 1 diabetes, an augmented CC method-emulsion method-that achieves hydrogel CCs around islets at physiological pH for improved cytocompatibility, with PEG hydrogels for increased biocompatibility and with fivefold increase in encapsulation throughput for enhanced scalability.
