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

Excessive activation of T cells and microglia represents a hallmark of the pathogenesis of human multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the regulatory molecules overactivating these immune cells remain to be identified. Previously, we reported that extracellular IFP35 family proteins, including IFP35 and NMI, activated macrophages as proinflammatory molecules in the periphery. Here, we investigated their functions in the process of neuroinflammation both in the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery. Our analysis of clinical transcriptomic data showed that expression of IFP35 family proteins was up-regulated in patients with MS. Additional in vitro studies demonstrated that IFP35 and NMI were released by multiple cells. IFP35 and NMI subsequently triggered nuclear factor kappa B-dependent activation of microglia via the TLR4 pathway. Importantly, we showed that both IFP35 and NMI activated dendritic cells and promoted naïve T cell differentiation into Th1 and Th17 cells.
