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

Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) molecules are antigen presentation proteins and increased in post-mortem Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. Attempts to decrease MHCII expression have led to neuroprotection in PD mouse models. Our group reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at rs3129882 in the MHCII gene Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) DRA is associated with increased MHCII transcripts and surface protein and increased risk for late-onset idiopathic PD. We therefore hypothesized that decreased MHCII may mitigate dopaminergic degeneration. During an ongoing α-synuclein lesion, mice with MHCII reduction in systemic and brain innate immune cells (LysMCre + I-Ab
