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

Immune responses are highly regulated in all organs and severely restricted in certain tissues within the central nervous system (CNS). This phenomenon, called 'immune privilege', has been linked to the existence of multiple anatomical and physiological protective mechanisms. The finely balanced anti-inflammatory microenvironment within the CNS contributes to the immune privilege status of this tissue. The regulation of this compartment changes under pathological conditions when pro-inflammatory mediators might dominate. The past few years brought a wealth of novel information fostering our understanding of how CNS resident cells regulate the functions of immune cells, particularly helper T lymphocytes (Ths) and dendritic cells (DCs). These two cell types play a crucial role in the initiation and maintenance of neuroinflammatory diseases. The change from anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory microenvironment in the inflamed CNS affects Th and DC accumulation and function in the nervous tissue. A new era of DC-targeted therapies has begun, with the possibility of designing novel immunomodulatory therapies to intervene with neuroinflammation in a wide range of neurological diseases.
