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

In central nervous system (CNS) diseases characterized by late-onset neurodegeneration, the interplay between innate and adaptive immune responses remains poorly understood. This knowledge gap is exacerbated by the prolonged protracted disease course as it complicates the delineation of brain-resident and infiltrating cells. Here, we conducted comprehensive profiling of innate and adaptive immune cells in a murine model of spastic paraplegia 15 (SPG15), a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Using fate-mapping of bone marrow-derived cells, we identified microgliosis accompanied by infiltration and local expansion of T cells in the CNS of Spg15-/- mice. Single-cell analysis revealed an expansion of disease-associated microglia (DAM) and effector CD8+ T cells prior to neuronal loss. Analysis of potential cell-cell communication pathways suggested bidirectional interactions between DAM and effector CD8+ T cells, potentially contributing to disease progression in Spg15-/- mice. In summary, we identified a shift in microglial phenotypes associated with the recruitment and expansion of T cells as a new characteristic of Spg15-driven neuropathology.
