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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by demyelination, gliosis, and neurodegeneration. While the currently available disease-modifying therapies effectively suppress the immune attack on the CNS, there are no therapies to date that directly mitigate neurodegeneration. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a small peptide hormone that maintains glucose homeostasis. A novel GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, NLY01, was recently shown to have neuroprotective effects in the animal models of Parkinson's disease and is now in a phase 2 clinical trial. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of NLY01 in a mouse model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Our data show that NLY01 delays the onset and attenuates the severity of EAE in a prevention paradigm, when given before disease onset. NLY01 inhibits the activation of immune cells in the spleen and reduces their trafficking into the CNS. In addition, we show that NLY01 suppresses the production of chemokines that are involved in leukocyte recruitment to the site of inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effect of NLY01 at the early stage of EAE may block the expression of the genes associated with neurotoxic astrocytes in the optic nerves, thereby preventing retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss in the progressive stage of EAE. In the therapeutic paradigm, NLY01 significantly decreases the clinical score and second attack in a model of relapsing-remitting EAE. GLP-1R agonists may have dual efficacy in MS by suppressing peripheral and CNS inflammation, thereby limiting neuronal loss.
