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

backgroundTo evaluate the role of NADPH oxidase-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in multiple sclerosis pathogenesis, we examined the effects of apocynin, an NADPH oxidase assembly inhibitor, on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

methodsEAE was induced by immunization with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG (35-55)) in C57BL/6 female mice. Three weeks after initial immunization, the mice were analyzed for demyelination, immune cell infiltration, and ROS production. Apocynin (30 mg/kg) was given orally once daily for the entire experimental course or after the typical onset of clinical symptom (15 days after first MOG injection).

resultsClinical signs of EAE first appeared on day 11 and reached a peak level on day 19 after the initial immunization. The daily clinical symptoms of EAE mice were profoundly reduced by apocynin. The apocynin-mediated inhibition of the clinical course of EAE was accompanied by suppression of demyelination, reduced infiltration by encephalitogenic immune cells including CD4, CD8, CD20, and F4/80-positive cells. Apocynin reduced MOG-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured microglia. Apocynin also remarkably inhibited EAE-associated ROS production and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Furthermore, the present study found that post-treatment with apocynin also reduced the clinical course of EAE and spinal cord demyelination.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that apocynin inhibits the clinical features and neuropathological changes associated with EAE. Therefore, the present study suggests that inhibition of NADPH oxidase activation by apocynin may have a high therapeutic potential for treatment of multiple sclerosis pathogenesis.
