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

Glia maturation factor (GMF), a highly conserved brain-specific protein, isolated, sequenced and cloned in our laboratory. Overexpression of GMF in astrocytes induces the production and secretion of granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and subsequent immune activation of microglia, expression of several proinflammatory genes including major histocompatibility complex proteins, IL-1beta, and MIP-1beta, all associated with the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the animal model for multiple sclerosis. Based on GMF's ability to activate microglia and induce well-established proinflammatory mediators, including GM-CSF, we hypothesize that GMF is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease EAE. In this present investigation, using GMF-deficient mice, we study the role of GMF and how the lack of GMF affects the EAE disease. Our results show a significant decrease in incidence, delay in onset, and reduced severity of EAE in GMF-deficient mice, and support the hypothesis that GMF plays a major role in the pathogenesis of disease.
