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

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) is a shared downstream component of chemokine-mediated signaling pathways and regulates migration, proliferation and activation of inflammatory cells. PI3Kγ has been shown to play a crucial role in regulating inflammatory responses during the progression of several diseases. We investigated the potential function of PI3Kγ in mediating inflammatory reactions and the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis (MS). We found that systemic treatment with selective PI3Kγ inhibitor AS-604850 significantly reduced the number of infiltrated leukocytes in the CNS and ameliorated the clinical symptoms of EAE mice. Treatment with this PI3Kγ inhibitor enhanced myelination and axon number in the spinal cord of EAE mice. Consistently, we demonstrated that PI3Kγ deletion in knockout mice mitigates the clinical sign of EAE compared to PI3Kγ+/+ controls. PI3Kγ deletion increased the number of axons in the lumbar spinal cord, including descending 5-HT-positive serotonergic fiber tracts. Our results indicate that PI3Kγ contributes to development of autoimmune CNS inflammation and that PI3Kγ blockade may provide a great potential for treating patients with MS.
