Impact of CYBA genotypes on severity and progression of multiple sclerosis.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
background and purposeThe NOX2 enzyme of myeloid cells generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have been implicated in the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to determine the impact of genetic variation within CYBA, which encodes the functional CYBA/p22
methodsOne hundred three MS patients with up to 49 (median = 17) years follow-up time from first MS diagnosis were genotyped at the single nucleotide polymorphisms rs1049254 and rs4673 within CYBA. Results were matched with disease severity and time to diagnosis of secondary progressive MS (SPMS). NOX2-mediated formation of ROS was measured by chemiluminescence in blood myeloid cells from healthy donors (n = 55) with defined genotypes at rs1049254 and rs4673.
resultsThe rs1049254/G and rs4673/A CYBA alleles were associated with reduced formation of ROS and were thus defined as low-ROS alleles. Patients carrying low-ROS alleles showed reduced multiple sclerosis severity score (p = 0.02, N = 103, linear regression) and delayed onset of SPMS (p = 0.02, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.46, n = 100, log-rank test). In a cohort examined after 2005, patients carrying low-ROS CYBA alleles showed >20 years longer time to secondary progression (p = 0.003, HR = 0.29, n = 59, log-rank test).
conclusionsThese results implicate NOX2 in MS, in particular for the development of secondary progressive disease, and point toward NOX2-reductive therapy aiming to delay secondary progression.
