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

background and purposeAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and rapidly progressing motor neuron disease without effective treatment. The complement system is up-regulated in ALS, with recent studies indicating that the activation product C5a accelerates disease progression via the C5a EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The selective and orally active C5a KEY

resultsPMX205 entered the intact CNS at pharmacologically active concentrations, with increased entry observed in hSOD1 CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: These results confirm that C5a
