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

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a neuroinflammatory disease of the central nervous system, is one of the commonest causes of non-traumatic disability among young adults. Impaired cognition arises as an impactful symptom affecting more than 50% of the patients and with substantial impact on social, economic, and individual wellbeing. Despite the lack of therapeutic strategies, many efforts have been made to understand the mechanisms behind cognitive impairment in MS patients. Here, we aimed to investigate whether microglia-derived synaptic elimination and immune interactions are exacerbated in MS patients with impaired cognition when compared to non-demented controls (NDC) and cognitively preserved MS patients, that may clarify the role of immune cell interplay in MS cognitive deficits. Postmortem hippocampal samples were obtained from NDCs and MS patients. Sixteen MS patients were categorized based on their cognitive status: preserved cognition (MSCP) and impaired cognition (MSCI). Immunohistochemistry studies were conducted to explore the density of microglia, their role in synaptic engulfment, and their interaction with CD8
