Relationship between metalloproteinase 2 and 9 concentrations and soluble CD154 expression in Iranian patients with multiple sclerosis.
Article in The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a critical role in the blood-brain barrier permeability and in invasion of the leukocytes into the central nervous system during multiple sclerosis (MS). In this respect, in the present study, we have evaluated the possible role of MMP-9 and MMP-2 on the expression of soluble CD154 (sCD154) and membrane-bound isoform of the CD154 in Iranian MS patients. The expressions of the aforementioned protein-related genes were analyzed at the levels of messenger RNA and proteins by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blotting. The results showed a high expression of CD154 isoforms, MMP-9 and MMP-2, in MS patients in contrast to controls (p < 0.001). We found an increase in sCD154 concentration (i.e., >3-fold) in patients with a higher MMPs/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) ratio. Furthermore, secondary-progressive MS patients with exacerbate period showed higher positive correlation between increasing sCD154 concentration and overexpression of MMP-2 (p < 0.001). Our data demonstrate that following the exacerbation period, sCD154 concentration is increased in patients, which is mutually related to the MMPs/TIMP-1 ratio. This relationship may represent a new link between sCD154 concentration and the MMPs/TIMP-1 ratio with prognostic implications.
