Treatment of multiple sclerosis with methylprednisolone and mitoxantrone modulates the expression of CXC chemokine receptors in PBMC.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Chemokines and their receptors are involved in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methylprednisolone (MP) and mitoxantrone (MTX) are commonly used in the treatment of MS. In this study, we analyzed the expression of chemokine receptors CXCR1, CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4, and CXCR5 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from MS patients before and after treatment with MP or MTX. We observed a significant upregulation of expression of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in untreated MS patients. Treatment of MS with MP stimulated further increase of expression of both receptors. Therapy for MS with MTX resulted in decrease of CXCR2 expression. There was a negative correlation between the expression of CXCR1 and CXCR2 and the cumulative dose of MTX received by patients. These results suggest that CXCR1 and CXCR2 may be involved in MS pathogenesis and that treatment of this disease with MP and MTX may influence expression of those receptors.
