Finishing the odyssey to a stem cell cure for type 1 diabetes.
Review in npj metabolic health and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
For over two decades pluripotent stem cells have promised a renewable source of β cells to treat patients with type 1 diabetes. Major efforts to optimize the differentiation, survival, and function of transplanted stem cell-derived tissue have recently delivered clinically meaningful metabolic benefits using a perforated encapsulation device that promotes integration with recipient vasculature under the protection of systemic immunosuppression. Despite this success, the journey is not over as a universal cure will require a larger β cell mass. Here, we summarize recent interdisciplinary advances that could maximize the functional β cell mass within transplanted devices and provide an immune privileged niche that could eliminate the need for systemic immunosuppression.
