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 growing in prevalence; yet, treatments that can reverse the progression of the disease are still needed. One strategy that has shown promise for reversing MS is remyelination by inhibiting the M1 receptor, a member of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) family. Antagonizing the M1 mAChR is believed to be the mechanism by which clemastine, a developing drug that has been observed to enhance myelination in animal studies and phase II clinical trials, elicits its myelination-promoting effects. Recent studies have indicated that blocking M1 mAChR may promote oligodendrocyte differentiation via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway, modulating Ca
