Active targeting of type 1 diabetes therapies to pancreatic beta cells using nanocarriers.
Review in Diabetologia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterised by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in lifelong insulin dependence. Although exogenous insulin can maintain glycaemic control, this approach does not protect residual or replacement pancreatic beta cells from immune-mediated death. Current therapeutics designed to protect functional beta cell mass or promote beta cell proliferation and regeneration can have off-target effects, resulting in higher dose requirements and adverse side effects. Targeted drug delivery using nanocarriers has demonstrated potential for overcoming these limitations. The critical bottleneck limiting the development of beta cell-targeted therapies is a lack of highly specific beta cell markers. This review provides an overview of the use of nanocarriers for cell-targeted delivery and the current state of the field of beta cell targeting. Technologies such as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) aptamer selection, phage display screening, and omics datasets from human samples are highlighted as tools to identify novel beta cell-specific targets that can be combined with nanocarriers for targeted delivery of therapeutics. Ultimately, beta cell-targeted therapies using nanocarriers present a unique opportunity to develop tailored treatments for each stage of type 1 diabetes with the goal of providing individuals with treatment options that prevent further progression or reverse the course of the disease.
