Background. CNM-Au8, a catalytic nanocrystalline gold suspension, is proposed to support neuronal bioenergetics, but its effect on chronic lesion evolution in multiple sclerosis (MS) has not been reported. Objectives. To evaluate the effect of CNM-Au8 on chronic lesion tissue expansion (CLTE). Results. In this exploratory post hoc analysis of the VISIONARY randomised placebo-controlled trial, CLTE was quantified from serial FLAIR MRI. Fifty-five participants were included (CNM-Au8, n=40; placebo, n=15). Compared with placebo, CNM-Au8 was associated with lower lesion expansion rate (p=0.001; Cliffs =-0.58) and volume (p<0.001; Cliffs =-0.65). Conclusions. CNM-Au8 treatment was associated with substantially reduced chronic lesion tissue expansion.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
