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

This review is a personal memoir of the history of proteolipids and is limited to aspects of the field with which the author has been involved in one way or another. The discovery of proteolipids was a serendipitous observation made in the course of the study of sulfatides. Initial focus was on the chemical characterization of brain proteolipids, their behavior under different conditions and their identification as the major protein of CNS myelin. The sequence of PLP was obtained using solid phase protein sequencing techniques. This, in turn, made possible a new era in which biochemical, cellular and molecular approaches could be applied to address new questions about PLP. Identification of genetic defects in the PLP molecule and its regulation has contributed to understanding myelin biology. Studies of the encephalitogenic activity of PLP in animal models have influenced the views of inflammatory processes in multiple sclerosis. Despite remarkable progress, much remains to be learned about the structure and function of PLP.
