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 implication of dendritic cells (DCs) in the peripheral spreading of prions has increased in the last few years. It has been recently described that DCs can transmit prions to primary neurons from the central nervous system. In order to improve the understanding of the earliest steps of prion peripheral neuroinvasion, we studied, using an in vitro model, the effect of exposing primary peripheral neurons to scrapie-infected lymphoid cells. Thanks to this system, there is evidence that bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) are in connection with neurites of peripheral neurons via cytoplasmic extensions. BMDCs are competent to internalize prions independently from the expression of cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) and have the capacity to transmit detergent-insoluble, relatively proteinase K-resistant prion protein (PrP(Sc)) to peripheral neurons after 96 h of coculture. Furthermore, we confirmed the special status of the peripheral nervous system in front of prion diseases. Contrary to central neurons, PrP(Sc) infection does not disturb survival and neurite outgrowth. Our model demonstrates that PrP(Sc)-loaded dendritic cells and peripheral nerve fibers that are included in neuroimmune interfaces can initiate and spread prion neuroinvasion.
