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

Prion neuroinvasion is accompanied by maximal activation of microglia, the significance of which for pathogenesis is unknown. Here, we used bone marrow (BM) cells expressing GFP (green fluorescent protein) to study the turnover of microglia in mouse scrapie. We found that >or=50% of all brain microglia were replaced by BM-derived cells before clinical disease onset. In terminally sick mice, microglia density increased threefold to fourfold. Hence BM-derived microglia rapidly and efficaciously colonize the brain in scrapie. Whereas reconstitution of wild-type mice with prion protein-deficient (Prnp(o/o)) BM did not alter scrapie pathogenesis, Prnp(o/o) mice transplanted with wild-type BM cells were resistant to peripherally administered prions despite high levels of infectivity in the spleen. Cerebellar homogenates from prion-inoculated Prnp(o/o) mice reconstituted with >10% of wild-type microglia failed to infect transgenic mice overexpressing the cellular prion protein. Hence, in contrast to previous reports, microglia are not competent for efficient prion transport and replication in vivo.
