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

The structural integrity of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial for the maintenance of its function. Electron microscopy (EM) is the gold standard for visualizing individual myelin sheaths. However, the tissue processing involved can induce artifacts such as shearing of myelin, which can be difficult to distinguish from true myelin abnormalities. Spectral confocal reflectance (SCoRe) microscopy is an imaging technique that leverages the differential refractive indices of compacted CNS myelin in comparison to surrounding parenchyma to detect individual compact myelin internodes with reflected light, positioning SCoRe as a possible complementary method to EM to assess myelin integrity. Whether SCoRe is sensitive enough to detect losses in myelin compaction when myelin quantity is otherwise unaffected has not yet been directly tested. Here, we assess the capacity of SCoRe to detect differences in myelin compaction in two mouse models that exhibit a loss of myelin compaction without demyelination: microglia-deficient mice (
