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

backgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with evidence of autoimmune attack also on the enteric nervous system (ENS). The role of different dietary antigens, including bovine milk proteins, in the exacerbation of MS symptoms has previously been discussed.

methodsIn a mouse model of neuroinflammation, we characterized the extent of ENS pathology in animals that were immunized with different bovine milk antigens using electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, and cell culture as key methods.

resultsOur data demonstrate that immunization of mice with bovine milk casein resulted in ENS pathology, which is in line with our previous findings where casein-immunized mice also exhibited demyelination in the CNS. Furthermore, development of ENS pathology was most likely due to a combination of cellular and humoral factors, as confirmed by our observation of CD3

conclusionThe findings presented in this paper reflect that exposure to bovine casein can result in axolysis in the myenteric plexus possibly as a result of molecular mimicry and antibody cross-reactivity between casein and antigen(s) expressed by the ENS.
