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

To date, biomarkers based on nonconventional MRI have not been standardized for diagnosis and follow-up of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The sequential monitoring of pathogenesis in MS by imaging of the normal appearing brain tissue is an important research tool in understanding the early stages of MS. In this review, we focus on the importance of deciphering the physiopathogenesis of the disease cascade in vivo based on imaging biomarkers that allow a correlation with immunohistochemistry and molecular biology findings in order to provide earlier clinical diagnosis and better individualization of treatment and follow-up in patients with MS. Among the nonconventional imaging techniques available, we remark on the importance of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging because of its ability to assist in the simultaneous evaluation of different events in the pathogenesis of MS that cannot be determined by conventional MRI. Nonconventional MRI and the use of novel contrast agents are expected to elucidate the process of neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity in vivo that characterizes MS, thus leading to more specific neuroprotective and immunomodulatory therapies and reducing progression toward disability.
