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

objectivesB-cell aggregates below the meninges have been associated with progression of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to investigate the frequency of different B-cell subsets and their relationship with MS severity. Also, we quantified the CXCL13 and neurofilament (NfL) plasma levels.

methodsAccording to the differential expression of IgD, CD38, CD27, HLA-DR, CD138, IL-10, and IL-17, the frequency of different circulating B-cell (CD19

resultsHere, the severity of neurological impairment positively correlated with the percentage of plasmablast (CD138

conclusionsIn summary, our findings suggest that increased circulating anergic or immunogenic B-cell subsets could be candidate biomarkers for low- and high-risk of disease activity, respectively.
