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

NUCB2/nesfatin-1 was originally discovered as an anorexigenic peptide. However, recent studies revealed various additional functions including the regulation of inflammation. However, there are no studies that investigated the involvement of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in neuroinflammatory diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate the involvement of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in a representative neuroinflammatory disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). Cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) were collected from 24 MS patients and 10 control subjects and NUCB2/nesfatin-1, proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β) levels were measured by using ELISA assay. Also the expression of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in the CSF of MS patient was investigated by western blot analysis. Expression of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 was confirmed in the CSF of the MS patient by western blot analysis. NUCB2/nesfatin-1 levels were significantly higher in the CSF of the MS patients. Among the measured cytokines, only IL-1β was lower in the CSF of the MS patients. We report for the first time increased NUCB2/nesfatin-1 levels in the CSF of MS patients.
