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

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease. Current medications have some limitations such as low efficacy and high side effects. In recent years, statins have been raised as potential therapeutics for MS treatment with minimal complications. In addition, patient monitoring using suitable molecular markers is necessary for treatment response evaluation. Objective: The aim of the present study was the evaluation of Methods: This before-after uncontrolled clinical trial study was performed on 25 patients with MS. Patients were treated with 20 mg rosuvastatin daily for 3 months. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was measured before and after statin therapy. Blood samples were taken from patients 2 times, before and after statin therapy, and centrifuged for white blood cell isolation. Total RNA was extracted using RNX-plus reagent, and complementary DNA was synthesized using Pars Tous cDNA Synthesis Kit. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was done using SYBR blue master mix and gene-specific primers in Roche light cycler. Patients' information was recorded using a checklist. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23 and Graph Pad version 9 software and Results: Conclusions:
