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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. After acute inflammatory mediated demyelination, some remyelination often occurs, but in chronic demyelinated MS plaques, remyelination frequently fails. Chronically demyelinated axons cause a variety of symptoms and probably are more likely to degenerate, leading to irreversible clinical disability. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) present in the adult brain can proliferate and differentiate to remyelinate lesions. Failure of remyelination in the majority of MS patients is secondary to arrest in OPC differentiation. Many therapies have been developed to modulate the immune response in MS, but no neuroprotective or remyelinating therapies are available. Promoting remyelination is a promising avenue for protecting axons, reversing neurologic disability and preventing progressive disease in MS. This review will begin with an overview of remyelination and remyelination failure, consequences of demyelination, and available animal disease models. In addition, preclinical and clinical studies on the most promising potential therapies for inducing remyelination will be described.
