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 a chronic autoimmune disease that targets mature oligodendrocytes (MOLs) and their myelin. MOLs are heterogeneous and can transition to immune-like states in MS. However, the dynamics of this process remain unclear. Here, we used single-cell multiome assay for transposase-accessible chromatin and RNA sequencing targeting oligodendroglia (OLG) from the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) MS mouse model at multiple disease stages. We found that immune OLG states appear at early disease stages and persist to late stages, which can be consistent with epigenetic memory of previous neuroinflammation. Transcription factor activity suggested immunosuppression in OLG at early disease stages. Different MOLs exhibit differential responsiveness to EAE, with MOL2 exhibiting a stronger transcriptional immune response than MOL5/MOL6, and showed divergent responses at the epigenetic level during disease evolution. Our single-cell multiomic resource highlights dynamic and subtype-specific responses of OLG to EAE, which might be amenable to modulation in MS.
