Repurposing of Chemokine Antagonists for Combined Phase-Resolved Spinal Cord Injury Treatment.

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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a medical challenge that results in the formation of a glial scar preventing recovery of axonal conductivity. Cytokines and chemokines significantly affect the pathogenesis of SCI and represent important targets for therapeutic intervention. Here, dozens of cytokines and chemokines are dynamically monitored in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and injury site released in response to experimental SCI conducted in two rodent strains and patients undergoing surgical removal of intramedullary tumors. Dataset comprising 6,172 cytokine/chemokine values across 8 time points suggests that SCI in mammals is accompanied by a massive cytokine storm in cerebrospinal fluid, mainly driven by CXCL1, IL-6, and CCL2-5. Sub-acute phase is mostly associated with IL-2, IL-7, CCL22 and CX3CL1, whereas TNFα and IL17α permanently persists in CNS for even weeks following SCI. The effects of mogamulizumab and chemical antagonists of C-C/C-X-C chemokine receptors TAK-799, SB225002, and MK-7123 on SCI recovery in rodents are further estimated. Here blockade of CCR5 and CXCR1/2 chemokine receptors is shown beneficial for amelioration of acute SCI, whereas anti-CCR4 antibody mogamulizumab readily prevents secondary inflammation in the injured area. Summarizing, the current report claims for a novel combined time-resolved therapeutic modality in SCI treatment, which supports feasibility and motivates off-label clinical evaluation in appropriate cohorts.
