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

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) functions in leukocyte trafficking, activation, and the formation of the immunological synapse. ICAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion proteins, which share a similar structure of repeating Ig-like domains. Many genes in this family, including ICAM-1, show alternative splicing leading to the production of different protein isoforms, although little functional information is available regarding the expression patterns, ligand interactions, and functions of these isoforms, especially those arising from the ICAM-1 gene. In this study, we show using different lines of mutant mice (Icam1(tm1Jcgr) and Icam1(tm1Bay)) that alterations in the expression of the alternatively spliced ICAM-1 isoforms can significantly influence the disease course during the development of EAE. Icam1(tm1Jcgr) mutant mice, unlike Icam1(tm1Bay) mutants, do not express isoforms containing the Mac-1 binding domain and had significantly attenuated of EAE. In contrast, Icam1(tm1Bay) mice developed severe EAE in both active and adoptive transfer models compared to both Icam1(tm1Jcgr) and wild type mice. We also observed that T cells from Icam1(tm1Bay) mice displayed increased proliferation kinetics and produced higher levels of IFN-gamma compared to Icam1(tm1Jcgr) and wild type mice. Thus, our investigations show that the alternatively spliced ICAM-1 isoforms are functional, and play key roles during the progression of CNS inflammation and demyelination in EAE. Furthermore, our findings suggest that these isoforms may also play key roles in controlling the development of inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, possibly through differential engagement with ICAM-1 ligands such as Mac-1.
