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

backgroundExperimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a common animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). C57BL/6 mice immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein exhibit chronic disease course, together with optic neuritis, consisting of demyelination/axonal loss of the optic nerve.

objectivesTo characterize functional and structural visual damages in two different phases of EAE: pre- and post-motor onset.

methodsVisual alterations were detected with Visual Evoked Potential (VEP), Electroretinogram (ERG) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Optic nerve histology was performed at 7 (pre-motor onset) or 37 (post-motor onset) days post-immunization (dpi).

resultsAt 7 dpi, optic nerve inflammation was similar in EAE eyes with and without VEP latency delay. Demyelination was detected in EAE eyes with latency delay (p < 0.0001), while axonal loss (p < 0.0001) and ERG b-wave amplitude (p = 0.004) were decreased in EAE eyes without latency delay compared to Healthy controls. At 37 dpi, functional and structural optic nerve damage were comparable between EAE groups, while a decrease of ERG amplitude and NGCC thickness were found in EAE eyes with VEP latency delay detected post-motor onset.

conclusionsThanks to non-invasive methods, we studied the visual system in a MS model, which could be useful for developing specific therapeutic strategies to target different disease phases.
