Current concepts and controversies in prion immunopathology.
Review in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Scrapie in sheep and new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans are typically initiated by extracerebral exposure to prions. Both exhibit early prion accumulation in sites of the peripheral lymphoreticular system, such as splenic or lymph nodal germinal centers. In germinal centers, follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), whose development and maintenance depend on lymphotoxin and tumor necrosis factor signaling, are believed to be the main cell type for efficient prion replication in the periphery. Here, we discuss the molecular requirements for prion replication competence in stromal and lymphoid compartments of lymphoid organs. In addition, we examine the preconditions of transepithelial passage of prions in the mucosal-associated lymphoid system. Our results suggest that under specific conditions, efficient prion replication in mesenteric and inguinal lymph nodes is possible in the absence of mature FDCs. M cells are a plausible candidate for the mucosal portal of prion infection.
