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

Background: Total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is a recognised treatment for chronic pancreatitis (CP) with the potential to mitigate or prevent pancreatogenic diabetes. We present our 10-year follow-up of TPIAT patients. Methods: The University Hospitals of Leicester performed 60 TPIAT procedures from September 1994 to May 2011. Seventeen patients completed their 10-year assessment and were grouped using the modified Auto-Igls criteria; good response, n=5 (insulin-independent for first 5 years post-TPIAT); partial response, n=6 (insulin requirements <20 iU/day post-TPIAT) and poor response, n=6 (insulin requirements ≥20 iU/day post-TPIAT). C-peptide, haemoglobin A1c (HbA Results: Median C-peptide levels were significantly higher, 120 minutes following OGTT, in the "good response" compared to "partial" and "poor" groups (two-way ANOVA test, P<0.0001). All groups demonstrated preservation of C-peptide release. HbA Conclusions: TPIAT preserves long-term islet graft functions in 10-year follow up. Even in patients in the poor response group, there is evidence of C-peptide release (>0.5 ng/mL) after OGTT stimulation potentially preventing long-term diabetes-related complications.
