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

Purpose: Optic neuritis occurring in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and demyelination in the optic nerve. Although it has been well appreciated that leukocyte infiltration into the optic nerve is an early event during the course of the disease, there has been no study on visualizing and quantifying leukocyte trafficking in the retina during the progression of MS. Methods: In this study, we generated green fluorescent protein (GFP) Results: Through SLO, we were able to localize the GFP signal, allowing us to clearly identify leukocytes within the vascular space. We observed more intense leukocyte migration in the retina of EAE mice, exhibiting three distinct movement behaviors: flowing, rolling/crawling and adherent. There was a marked increase in leukocyte rolling and adhesion in retinal vasculature, particularly in the veins and capillaries after induction of EAE. The velocity of rolling leukocytes ranged from 12.0 to 1065.0 μm/sec in the veins as compared to 14.1 to 942.0 in the capillaries. Furthermore, focal areas of recurrent leukocyte adhesion to endothelial surfaces were observed in EAE retinas. Conclusion: We generated a novel model that makes it possible to non-invasively track leukocyte trafficking in the retina of EAE mice. Our study demonstrates that leukocyte migration in an MS model is distinctly different from the control, suggesting that leukocytes may play a key role in the development of retinal vascular inflammation and optic neuritis during MS, warranting further investigation of the pathological roles of leukocytes in the disease onset and progression.
