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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) which causes various symptoms such as fatigue, dyscoordination weakness and visual weakness. The intricacy of the immune system and obscure etiology are the main reasons for the lack of a definite treatment for MS. Oxidative stress is one of the most important key factors in MS pathogenesis. It can enhance inflammation, neurodegeneration and autoimmune-mediated processes, which can lead to excessive demyelination and axonal disruption. Recently, promising effects of Quercetin as a non-pharmacological anti-oxidant therapy have been reported in preclinical studies of MS disease. In this review, we provide a compendium of preclinical and clinical studies that have investigated the effects of Quercetin on MS disease to evaluate its potential utility as a complementary therapy in MS. Quercetin treatment in MS disease not only protects the CNS against oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, but it also declines the demyelination process and promotes remyelination potential. The present study clarifies the reported knowledge on the beneficial effects of Quercetin against MS, with future implication as a neuroprotective complementary therapy.
