Quantitative magnetic resonance mapping of the myelin bilayer reflects pathology in multiple sclerosis brain tissue.
Article in Science advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease characterized by loss of myelin (demyelination) and, to a certain extent, subsequent myelin repair (remyelination). To better understand the pathomechanisms underlying de- and remyelination and to monitor the efficacy of treatments aimed at regenerating myelin, techniques offering noninvasive visualizations of myelin are warranted. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has long been at the forefront of efforts to visualize myelin, but it has only recently become feasible to access the rapidly decaying resonance signals stemming from the myelin lipid-protein bilayer itself. Here, we show that direct MR mapping of the bilayer yields highly specific myelin maps in brain tissue from patients with MS. Furthermore, examination of the bilayer signal behavior is found to reveal pathological alterations in normal-appearing white and gray matter. These results indicate promise for in vivo implementations of the myelin bilayer mapping technique, with prospective applications in basic research, diagnostics, disease monitoring, and drug development.
