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

Meningeal inflammation, as a clinical feature of multiple sclerosis (MS), is associated with worse clinical disease outcomes. In both relapsing and secondary progressive MS and the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) MS model, the meninges have been found to contain ectopic lymphoid follicles enriched with B cells. The metabolic requirement of meningeal B cell function in MS or EAE is not well elucidated. Using 7-Tesla MRI brain scans of MS patients and leptomeningeal enhancement as a marker, we found a correlation between meningeal inflammation and metabolites of the arginine/polyamine pathway, a finding recapitulated in EAE. Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC1), the rate limiting enzyme for polyamine biosynthesis, as well as polyamine metabolism was diminished in the dura meningeal B cells from mice with MOG
