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) affects 2.8 million people worldwide. Although the cause is unknown, various risk factors might be involved. MS involves the immune system attacking the central nervous system's myelin sheath, leading to neuron damage. This study used a cuprizone (CPZ)-intoxicated mouse model to simulate MS's demyelination/remyelination process. It evaluated the molecular, histological, and behavioral effects of vanillic acid (VA), a natural phenolic acid, alone and with Ibudilast (IBD), a clinically tested MS medication. Mice were divided into a control group (regular chow) and a CPZ group (0.3% cuprizone chow for 5 consecutive weeks). During remyelination, the CPZ group was split into four groups: no therapy, 10 mg/kg of IBD, 30 mg/kg of VA, and combined, each treated for 4 weeks. Behavioral, biochemical, molecular, and histopathological tests occurred in the 5
