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

Sixty-five samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were evaluated using an automated cytoflow method with the CD-Sapphire hematology analyzer in order to investigate possible relationships between cell population patterns and diagnostic groups and better understand the biology of neurological disease. A basic panel of CD markers, including CD3/4/8/19/138/HLA-DR, was used to analyze CSF samples from clinical and laboratory confirmed cases of multiple sclerosis, neuroborreliosis, viral and bacterial neuroinfective diseases, malignant infiltrations of meninges and scavenger macrophagic reactions of the central nervous system. The principles of immune response and the contribution of cytological 'disease-related patterns' for these nosological entities are described. The distinct patterns of lymphocyte subpopulations in neuroborreliosis appear to be characteristic and could possibly serve as diagnostic indicators. Further verification and research will be necessary to clarify the significance and nature of CD4+ CD8+ positive subset in cerebrospinal fluid.
