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

In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and other neurodegenerative diseases, astrocytes play an important role in promoting or attenuating the inflammatory response through induction of different cytokines and growth factors. HuR plays a major role in regulating many of these factors by modulating RNA stability and translational efficiency. Here, we engineered transgenic mice to express HuR in astrocytes using the human glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter and found that female transgenic mice had significantly less clinical disability and histopathological changes in the spinal cord. Ovariectomy prior to EAE induction abrogated the protective effect. Our findings support a role for the astrocyte and posttranscriptional regulation in hormonally-mediated attenuation of EAE.
