Past, or Present? Prophetic, or Real?

Ok, which, then. was it in the patent? First, the patent rules state:

The Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) states that prophetic examples should not be described using the past tense.

But the patent stated, in the past tense:

The treated MS patients were noted as having significant reduction of brain lesions as shown on imaging.

Seems that this statement was not "prophetic," but rather was derived from an actual occurrence in real humans.
