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

Animal models have become essential tools for studying the human autoimmune disease. They are of vital importance in explorations of disease aspects, where, for diverse reasons, human material is unavailable. This is especially true for disease processes preceding clinical diagnosis and for tissues, which are inaccessible to routine biopsy. Early developing multiple sclerosis (MS) makes an excellent point in case for these limitations. Useful disease models should be developing spontaneously, without a need of artificial, adjuvant-supported induction protocols, and they should reflect credibly at least some of the complex features of human disease. The aim of this review is to compile models that exhibit spontaneous organ-specific autoimmunity and explore their use for studying MS. We first evaluate a few naturally occurring models of organ-specific autoimmune diseases and then screen autoimmunity in animals with compromised immune regulation (neonatal thymectomy, transgenesis, etc.). While most of these models affect organs other than the nervous tissues, central nervous system (CNS)-specific autoimmune disease is readily noted either after transgenic overexpression of cytokines or chemokines within the CNS or by introducing CNS-specific immune receptors into the lymphocyte repertoire. Most recently, spontaneous autoimmunity resembling MS was obtained by transgenic expression of self-reactive T cell receptors and B cell receptors. These transgenic models are not only of promise for studying directly disease processes during the entire course of the disease but may also be helpful in drug discovery.
