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

Ulinastatin has previously been used as a drug for patients with acute inflammatory disorders. The goal of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of ulinastatin on myelin sheaths and oligodendrocytes in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and to explore the possible underlying mechanism. Mice were divided into an ulinastatin treatment group, a normal saline treatment group, and a normal control group. EAE was induced in the mice with and without ulinastatin treatment. Demyelination was evaluated, as was the number of oligodendrocytes. The ulinastatin treatment group had a significantly lower clinical score, demyelinating score, and large numbers of oligodendrocytes compared with the group without ulinastatin treatment. Furthermore, ulinastatin treatment increased the expression of nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and protected against oligodendrocyte apoptosis. Thus, ulinastatin is shown to have a protective effect against EAE.
