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

Development of tolerogenic, antigen-specific immunotherapies could overcome limitations of existing treatments for inflammatory autoimmune diseases by achieving potent, durable remission without impacting healthy immune surveillance. Here, we deliver diffusion-limited polymer depots to lymph nodes to locally guide T cell fates for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin. In preclinical MS models, depots loaded with myelin self-antigen and tolerizing cues mediate localized retention of activated CD4 T cells, promote myelin-specific regulatory T cells, and reshape inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) to eliminate lesions. Selective disease reversal is achieved with a single treatment that induces long-lasting remission without hindering healthy responses to vaccine challenge with foreign antigen. Furthermore, depots offer favorable chemistry and manufacturing control features and are well tolerated in non-human primates. This work supports a clinically feasible concept for inducing safe, effective, antigen-specific tolerance without systemic or repeated dosing.
