Angiotensin IV is induced in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis but fails to influence the disease.

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
In multiple sclerosis (MS) and its corresponding animal models, over-activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported and pharmacological RAS blockade exerts beneficial effects. The RAS generates a number of bioactive angiotensins, thereby primarily regulating the body's sodium homeostasis and blood pressure. In this regard, angiotensin IV (AngIV), a metabolite of the RAS has been shown to modulate inflammatory responses. Here we studied potential implications of AngIV signalling in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide induced murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a close-to-MS animal model. Mass spectrometry revealed elevated plasma levels of AngIV in EAE. Expression of cognate AT4 receptors was detected in macrophages and T cells as major drivers of pathology in EAE. Yet, AngIV did not modulate macrophage or T cell functions in vitro or displayed detectable effects on neuroantigen specific immune responses in vivo. The data argue against a major contribution of AngIV signalling in the immunopathogenesis of MOG-EAE.
