Pathogenetic Involvement of Autophagy and Mitophagy in Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) affects a subset of MS patients and is characterised by continuous progression from the onset. The molecular mechanisms underlying PPMS are poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited, with no specific markers for early detection and monitoring. This study investigated the roles of autophagy and mitophagy in PPMS. We found that autophagy markers (ATG5 and ATG7) and mitophagy markers (Parkin and Optineurin) were significantly reduced in the serum of PPMS patients compared to control and relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) individuals. This reduction was associated with an increase in markers indicative of neurodegeneration and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, a positive correlation between autophagy and mitophagy proteins in the PPMS group suggests that these mechanisms are reciprocally associated and modulated in PPMS. Our investigation reveals that autophagy and mitophagy are actively involved in PPMS and exhibit distinct patterns across MS subtypes. Measurements of circulating components related to autophagy and mitophagy could serve as potential biomarkers for early PPMS detection.
