Cell-based gene therapy experiments in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Article in Gene therapy, 2005. 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
With the ultimate goal of developing a novel treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), we have developed a cell-based gene therapy protocol for the treatment of murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a powerful animal model for MS. We have determined that transduced fibroblasts secreting encephalogenic epitopes, when injected into mice with EAE, cause a striking abrogation of disease. Both myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein mini-gene constructs expressed in syngeneic fibroblast cells were capable of ameliorating ongoing EAE induced by MBP protein. These experiments are crucial since they suggest that not all encephalogenic epitopes need be secreted for the control of disease. We also demonstrate the success of this protocol when transduced syngeneic, and most importantly, allogeneic cells are sequestered within an implantable chamber. Furthermore, we find that through modifying antigen expression by changing the signal sequence of the mini-gene construct, we were able to significantly reduce the dose of cells required for treatment. These improvements to the mini-gene delivery system are critical for the eventual translation of our protocol to the clinic.
