Remyelination protects neurons from DLK-mediated neurodegeneration.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic demyelination and oligodendrocyte loss deprive neurons of crucial support. It is the degeneration of neurons and their connections that drives progressive disability in demyelinating disease. However, whether chronic demyelination triggers neurodegeneration and how it may do so remain unclear. We characterize two genetic mouse models of inducible demyelination, one distinguished by effective remyelination and the other by remyelination failure and chronic demyelination. While both demyelinating lines feature axonal damage, mice with blocked remyelination have elevated neuronal apoptosis and altered microglial inflammation, whereas mice with efficient remyelination do not feature neuronal apoptosis and have improved functional recovery. Remyelination incapable mice show increased activation of kinases downstream of dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) and phosphorylation of c-Jun in neuronal nuclei. Pharmacological inhibition or genetic disruption of DLK block c-Jun phosphorylation and the apoptosis of demyelinated neurons. Together, we demonstrate that remyelination is associated with neuroprotection and identify DLK inhibition as protective strategy for chronically demyelinated neurons.
