A novel animal model for neuroinflammation and white matter degeneration.
Article in PeerJ, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Small interference RNA has been widely used to suppress gene expression. Three different short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against dopamine D1 receptor (Drd1), driven by mouse U6 promoter in self-complementary AAV8 vector (scAAV8), were used to silence mouse striatal Drd1 expression. Transduction of mouse striatum with all three scAAV8-D1shRNA viruses, but not the control scAAV8 virus, causes extensive neuroinflammation, demyelination, and axon degeneration. RNA interference is known to be coupled to the innate immune system as a host cell defense against virus infection. Activation of the innate immune system may play a causal role in the development of neuroinflammation and white matter degeneration, providing a novel animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neuroinflammatory diseases.
