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

Advanced MRI studies demonstrated several diffuse non-lesional features in multiple sclerosis, including changes detectable in gray matter areas. Standard T2 weighted MRI scans of deep gray matter structures, including the thalamus, caudate, putamen, dentate nuclei often demonstrate hypointensity. T2 hypointensity has been shown to correlate with cognitive, neuropsychiatric and motor dysfunction. The exact pathogenesis of this MRI phenomenon remains unknown. In this manuscript, we demonstrate the first known MS animal model of deep gray matter T2 hypointensity. In TMEV infected SJL/J mice, gradual development of thalamic T2 hypointensity was noted over the disease course. Quantitative analysis of the hypointensity demonstrated a strong correlation between the degree of T2 hypointensity and rotarod detectable disability. We propose that this model will allow mechanistic studies investigating the pathogenesis and significance of deep gray matter T2 hypointensity in MS.
