Organ-specific protective role of NKT cells in virus-induced inflammatory demyelination and myocarditis depends on mouse strain.
Article in Journal of neuroimmunology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) can induce demyelination or myocarditis in susceptible mouse strains. A deficiency of NKT cells exacerbated TMEV-induced demyelinating disease (TMEV-IDD) in SJL/J and BALB/c mice. In C57BL/6 background, however, NKT-cell-deficient Jα18 KO mice remained as resistant to TMEV-IDD as wild-type mice. Echocardiography and histology showed that Jα18 KO mice developed more severe myocarditis (greater T cell infiltration and fibrosis) than wild-type mice, suggesting a protective role of NKT cells in myocarditis in C57BL/6 mice. Jα18 KO mice had higher cardiac viral RNA and anti-viral antibody titers, but had lower lymphoproliferation and IL-4 and IL-10 production.
