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 devastating autoimmune disease that leads to profound disability. This disability arises from the stochastic, regional loss of myelin-the insulating sheath surrounding neurons-in the central nervous system (CNS). The demyelinated regions are dominated by the brain's resident macrophages: microglia. Microglia perform a variety of functions in MS and are thought to initiate and perpetuate demyelination through their interactions with peripheral immune cells that traffic into the brain. However, microglia are also likely essential for recruiting and promoting the differentiation of cells that can restore lost myelin in a process known as remyelination. Given these seemingly opposing functions, an overarching beneficial or detrimental role is yet to be ascribed to these immune cells. In this chapter, we will discuss microglia dynamics throughout the MS disease course and probe the apparent dichotomy of microglia as the drivers of both demyelination and remyelination.
