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 immunity-related GTPase Irgm1, also called LRG-47, is known to regulate host resistance to intracellular pathogens through multiple mechanisms that include controlling the survival of T lymphocytes. Here, we address whether Irgm1 also plays a role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). We find that Irgm1/LRG-47 is a significant factor in the progression of EAE and multiple sclerosis (MS). Expression of Irgm1 was robustly elevated in MS-affected lesions and in the central nervous system (CNS) of myelin basic protein (MBP)-induced EAE mice, especially in cells of lymphoid and mononuclear phagocyte origin. Homozygous Irgm1 null mice were resistant to MBP-induced EAE, and CD4(+) T cells in spleen and CNS of these mice displayed decreased proliferative capacity, increased apoptosis, and up-regulated interferon (IFN)-gamma induction. Therefore, Irgm1-induced survival of autoreactive CD4(+) T cells contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of EAE. Blockade of Irgm1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for halting multiple sclerosis.
