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

Almost 1 million people in the United States suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS). Current therapies suppress protective immunity and are non-curative. Antigen-specific therapies can selectively suppress autoreactive cells, preserving protective immunity. B cell dysregulation, a major driver of MS, remains largely untargeted for antigen-specific tolerance. We hypothesize that targeting B cells with antigen-loaded microparticles will enhance therapeutic efficacy. Here, we demonstrate that antigen-loaded acetalated dextran microparticles (AMP) surface-associate with B cells and enhance IL-10 secretion and MHCII expression, promoting tolerogenic antigen presentation. Leveraging this property, we developed a therapy using myelin oligodendrocyte (MOG
