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

In vivo remyelination promoted by a combination of four oligodendrocyte specific growth factors (GFs) in cuprizone-induced demyelinated mice brains was described recently by our group. Here we report activation of inflammatory response in mice brain following cuprizone-induced demyelination and its further enhancement immediately after injection of growth factors in vivo, while no significant inflammatory response was evident in GFs-injected normal brains. Cuprizone-induced demyelination was accompanied by increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, TNFalpha and IL-1beta, anti-inflammatory cytokines TGFbeta, IL-10 and increased levels of chemokines, CCL2, CCL5, and CXCL10, produced by resident microglia and astrocytes. During demyelination, involvement of oxidative stress was evident by disruption of mitochondrial structure and temporal decline in reduced glutathione levels, later returning to normal. Increase in the cytokines and chemokines was further enhanced within 2 days post injection (dpi) of GFs, coinciding with signal for repair via activation of pAkt and NFkappaB transcription factor reported earlier. Upregulation of mRNA and protein level of antioxidant genes, metallothionein (MT) I/II and activity of a cytosolic oxidoreductase enzyme, glycerolphosphate-3 dehydrogenase (cGPDH) occurred, resulting in a metabolic shuttle with an increase in glycerol in mice brains during period of demyelination and early GF-mediated repair.
