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

Glatiramer acetate (GA) significantly ameliorates multiple sclerosis and was initially discovered through its effects on the animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a relatively common demyelinating disease of peripheral nerves for which there is a parallel animal model, experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN). We review the treatments found useful in EAN with special emphasis on the need for quick onset of action and the relevance of treatments used for EAE and multiple sclerosis. We evaluated the effect of GA administered by a novel intraperitoneal route in EAN. GA significantly ameliorated the severity of disease in rats (F = 6.3, p = 0.01 by analysis of variance (ANOVA)) and course of disease (F = 4.9, p = 0.02 by repeated-measures ANOVA with a day x treatment interaction term). Neurophysiology data supported the trend for the beneficial effect of GA. Myelin-induced immune cell proliferation was significantly modulated by GA (p < 0.025). This report describes a novel route of administration of GA and a rapid beneficial effect of GA in EAN. GA may be useful in human diseases, such as GBS, where the intravenous route may offer a rapid onset of drug action.
