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

purpose of reviewWhile there are a growing number of therapies targeting relapse prevention in multiple sclerosis (MS), there are no approved therapies promoting remyelination. Understanding endogenous myelin formation, remyelination strategies, pre-clinical models, and clinical outcomes is essential to the interpretation of current and future clinical trials of remyelinating agents. RECENT

findingsSeveral recent clinical trials of remyelination therapies, including opicinumab, clemastine, and GSK239512, showed negative or modest results. These results could highlight challenges translating pre-clinical studies into subjects with MS and current strategies to measure remyelination. Current approaches to remyelination include (1) blocking inhibitors of remyelination, (2) improving the clearance of myelin debris, (3) increasing the number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), and (4) stimulating OPC differentiation. To date, no therapies have led to robust remyelination. Future efforts to promote remyelination will likely require a combination of these mechanistic strategies.
