Authors' conclusion

The findings of this review suggest that anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody treatment increases endogenous insulin production and improves the lifestyle of patients by reducing insulin dosage. Future studies should consider the limitations, including sample size, heterogeneity and duration of follow-up, to validate the generalizability of these findings further.
