Remyelination of the adult demyelinated mouse brain by grafted oligodendrocyte progenitors and the effect of B-104 cografts.
Article in Neurochemical research, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The 4e transgenic mouse is characterized by overexpression of the PLP gene. Heterozygous littermates containing three PLP gene copies develop and myelinate normally. However, a progressive CNS demyelination begins at 3-4 months of age. Despite focal demyelination, these animals survive for one year with hind limb paralysis. We used this CNS demyelination model to determine if grafts of CG4 oligodendrocyte progenitors would survive and myelinate the adult CNS. Either CG4 cells, or co-grafts of CG4/B 104 cells 11:1 ratio respectively) were performed. Grafted cells survived and migrated in the normal and transgenic brain. Non-treated transgenic animals revealed extensive lack of myelin. Three months post-transplant hosts with CG4 or co-transplants displayed a near normal myelin pattern. Double immunofluorescence for neurofilament and myelin basic protein revealed the presence of many naked axons in non-grafted transgenic animals. Those grafted with progenitor CG4 cells or cografts displayed a clear increase in remyelination. This data provides a new direction for the development of cell replacement therapies in demyelinating diseases.
