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

Despite the efficacy of natalizumab, which targets the integrin VLA-4, in treating multiple sclerosis (MS), approximately 35% patients with MS present evidence of disease activity two years after treatment initiation. Individual heterogeneity of leukocyte response to VLA-4 on natalizumab-mediated blockade may underlie disparities in treatment efficacy. Here we use a high-content cell imaging (HCI) pipeline to profile the in vitro effects of natalizumab on VLA-4-stimulated PBMCs from MS patients prior to natalizumab treatment. Unsupervised clustering of image data partially discriminates non-responder MS patients based on morphology, F-actin organization and signaling-related features in CD8
