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

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease of demyelination and inflammation of peripheral nerves. Current treatments are limited to plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulins. Cargo-free nanoparticles (NPs) have been evaluated here for their therapeutic benefit on the disease course of experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), mimicking the human GBS. NPs prepared from poly-lactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA) with variable size and surface charge (i.e., 500 nm vs. 130 nm, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) vs. sodium cholate), were intravenously administered in before- or early-onset treatment schedules in a rat EAN model. NP treatment mitigated distinctly the clinical severity of EAN as compared to the P2-peptide control group (P2) in all treatments and reduced the trafficking of inflammatory monocytes at inflammatory loci and diverted them towards the spleen. Therapeutic treatment with NPs reduced the expression of proinflammatory markers (CD68 (P2: 34.8 ± 6.6 vs. NP: 11.9 ± 2.3), IL-1β (P2: 18.3 ± 0.8 vs. NP: 5.8 ± 2.2), TNF-α (P2: 23.5 ± 3.7 vs. NP: 8.3 ± 1.7) and elevated the expression levels of anti-inflammatory markers CD163 (P2: 19.7 ± 3.0 vs. NP: 41.1 ± 6.5; all for NP-PVA of 130 nm; relative to healthy control). These results highlight the therapeutic potential of such cargo-free NPs in treating EAN, which would be easily translatable into clinical use due to their well-known low-toxicity profile.
