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

Biological aging is the strongest factor associated with the clinical phenotype of multiple sclerosis (MS). Relapsing-remitting MS typically presents in the third or fourth decade, whereas the mean age of presentation of progressive MS (PMS) is 45 years old. Here, we show that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), induced by the adoptive transfer of encephalitogenic CD4+ Th17 cells, was more severe, and less likely to remit, in middle-aged compared with young adult mice. Donor T cells and neutrophils were more abundant, while B cells were relatively sparse, in CNS infiltrates of the older mice. Experiments with reciprocal bone marrow chimeras demonstrated that radio-resistant, nonhematopoietic cells played a dominant role in shaping age-dependent features of the neuroinflammatory response, as well as the clinical course, during EAE. Reminiscent of PMS, EAE in middle-aged adoptive transfer recipients was characterized by widespread microglial activation. Microglia from older mice expressed a distinctive transcriptomic profile suggestive of enhanced chemokine synthesis and antigen presentation. Collectively, our findings suggest that drugs that suppress microglial activation, and acquisition or expression of aging-associated properties, may be beneficial in the treatment of progressive forms of inflammatory demyelinating disease.
