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

The elevation of several members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family promotes the pathophysiology of both multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Nonetheless, given the multiple activities of MMPs, it remains possible that increased levels of a particular MMP may have beneficial functions during disease progression. We reported previously that MMP-12(-/-) mice of the 129/SvEv strain had a poorer EAE outcome than wild-type controls. However, we did not determine further differences in disease profiles between these groups. Using the EAE model in 129/SvEv mice, we report that disease in both wild-type and MMP-12(-/-) mice follows a relapsing-remitting course. Although both mouse groups had similar clinical onsets, subsequent relapses were more severe in MMP-12(-/-) mice; their residual disability at remission was also higher compared with wild-type controls. The worsened relapses and remissions in MMP-12(-/-) mice occurred despite a deficiency of the antigen recall capacity of lymph node-derived cells as well as a reduction in the proportion of macrophages in the spinal cord during the chronic phase of EAE. Significantly, large increases of levels of chemokines and cytokines were found in the spinal cords of MMP-12(-/-) mice during chronic EAE. These results highlight MMP-12 as a beneficial enzyme in EAE and suggest that therapeutic interventions in multiple sclerosis should avoid targeting MMP-12.
