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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by immune-mediated demyelination and neurodegeneration. While cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers can track tissue damage, the relationship between immune cell populations and tissue damage markers remains poorly understood. We performed comprehensive immunophenotyping of CSF samples from 63 participants [29 relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), 7 primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), 27 patients with other suspected neurological diseases (OND)]. CSF levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were measured using single-molecule array technology. Relationships between immune cell populations and biomarkers were assessed using partial correlation and multiple regression analyses, adjusting for age and sex. RRMS patients exhibited expanded lymphocyte populations compared with OND, with elevated CD3+ T cells (+5062 cells/mL,
